True.
It's strange how I can read that whole list and see alot of my faves up there but fell very disappointed when I notice some of them didn't make it, I don't know why Nick Lowe didn't make it on that list.
Nick Lowe - Rockpile, solo
Essential record Nick The Nife, one of my all time favorite bass players seen him in concert, incredible, he's simply amazing
Dave Smythe - The Rezillos (stage name Dr. D.K. Smythe) mind-blowing punk bass player
Essential record: Can't Stand The Rezillos
Joe Osborn awesome R&B bass player, session musician for The Fifth Dimension
must hear bass line:
The Age Of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In
Andrew Bodnar - The Rumour, Graham Parker and the Rumour
must hear bass line Watching The Detective (Elvis Costello)
Bruce Foxton - The Jam
Nikolai Fraiture - The Strokes
Rick Huxley - Dave Clark Five
Nokie Edwards, Bob Bogle -The Ventures
