HEY! I'm a damn good bass player!
Just not the best. Texas Bluesmen Willie Weeks and Tommy Shannon aren't the very best bass players either, but just like me - they don't care! We might not be the very best, but we always play like we are! Top that!

You also have to remember that he's a groove player, not a flashy player like most of those mentioned already. He's one of the most solid players I've ever heard and I've been playing bass for almost 30 years.

I really dig some of the stuff Wooten does. And Mingus was one of the greatest at voicing his thoughts. I have always liked Ray Brown, especially the Superbass albums he put out recently with Christian McBride and John Clayton.
I got to play with Pattitucci when I was in college and that was great. The jazz ensemble got to play with Wayne Shorter, Pattitucci, Danilo Perez on Piano and Brian Blades on Drums. AWESOME!!!
