This list of bass players is people who influenced me - - sometimes that means they
showed a way to do something and sometimes it means they showed a way to NOT do something. Sometimes
it was a sound or a lick. Yes, there are guitar players on here who played bass - - there are also
people who are keyboard players and cellists. Credit is due to Mr. Nels Cline for inspiring this
exercise with his list of 200 guitars players.
Oh yeah, this is a list reflecting some 36 years . . .
