Some might say, Charles Mingus or John Pattitucci or Getty Lee or Flea or Les Claypool However, my pick is Jaco Pastorius. Just by removing the frets on his bass he created a vastly different sound...the blending of the tone from an upright bass with the power of the electric bass.
He was already a righteous player before that but when someone pioneers something that puts it over the top. Just like when you hear Hendrix...NO ONE played guitar like that before he got on the scene. There are so many great musicians throughout history that I've almost given up on trying to pick just one. I like to reflect on their unique styles and what made them tick. Like that bass player on the Patrice Rushen song, "Send Me Forget-me-nots". I don't know who that was, but I love their playing...the way they kick out that groove funk bassline. -Karen

Les Claypool
Source(s): just listen to him play, see him play live... no one can compare... yes, there are other great bassists out there, but...
