    John Paul Jones, Noel Redding and Jack Bruce. Too hard to choose between them.

    Mc Cartney... and even if I weren't a Beatles and Wings fan, he's the most melodic.

    Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report, Steve Kimock Band)
    Reed Mathis of JFJO
    Bobby Vega (Zero, KVHW, many many projects... Santana, too, I think. and Sly & the Family Stone)
    Jimmy Trebadeaux of the Schwag (had to give props to this brother)

    do you know who james jamerson is? or are you just saying that because you have the same cliched tastes as most people who'd call themselves hippies?
