Randy Jo Hobbs. After much thought I had to pick the late great Randy Jo Hobbs. Any rock and roll music lover that saw him live with Johnny Winter and drummer Richard Hughes in the mid-seventies knows that he was the whole package, stellar playing, amazing footwork and just enough backing vocals to make you notice. I saw them in 1974 at the New Victoria Theater in London and of all the bass guitarists that I've seen live, I have seen most of them lol, Randy Jo Hobbs made the best biggest impression and he played a Fender Bass. :D

PS: I looked back to page 69 and couldn't find the last bass guitar player thread but I think there was one recently.

Tommy Shannon.

Played with Johnny Winter, SRV, Doyle Bramhall I and II, Charlie Sexton, David Grissom, David Lee Holt, Derek O'Brien, Kenny Wayne Shepard and a thousand others...and he made all of them sound even better than they did before.

Got to be Jack Bruce...anybody that can push both Eric Clapton AND Ginger Baker has got to be number one.

Although I do like that youngin Tal, to be that young and already she gets "It".
