Who's that playing Bass?

reading some stuff on OzBass made me think if a guitar centric lot might contribute a different angle.

what Bass Players can you identify from 'their sound'
as in Clapton, BB King, Prince, Santana, maybe Beck and Marr all are identifiable (to me at least) on guitar are there any Bass Players that personalized.

I reckon I can pick Marcus Miller and Peter Hook. Probably Entwistle and Graham.
anybody?

Fieldy

I think I can recognise quite a few, but I'm really only familiar with popular bassists...I don't know many session musos.

Chris Wolstenholme, Tim Commerford, Justin Chancellor and Flea are probably the most obvious. I think my main problem in telling people apart is never actually paying attention to the "original", so it's hard when so many players try to emulate that person.

always thought Jack Myers had a pretty unique way of playing blues bass

Oh, and a few more...JPJ, Duck Dunn, and I reckon Colin Greenwood is quite unique in a lot of ways. And, of course, Stuart Zender

There's no mistaking the raucous thudding sound of Hayden Maskill.

I will have to change my name, that bastard has taken it but made a spelling error.

No that is a much cooler spelling imo.

Definitely Entwhistle, Lemmy, Flea, John Deacon from Queen, Paul McCartney and Pino Palladino.

Great question ... I usually pick Billy Sheehan and Stu Hamm fairly quickly.

I picked Victor Wooten once ... but that was a guess.

Flea

James Jamerson is a no-brainer to pick. So is Donald 'Duck' Dunn.

On double bass Ray Brown is easy to hear.
