the all time best bassist of a rock band

[Sir Sartana]

Haqrd to make a list but here are a few who are imho among the best.

Jack Bruce
Gezzer Butler
Stanley Clarke
Bootsy Collins
Flea
John Entwhistle
Jack Cassady
Lemmy
Chris Squire
Larry Graham
Felix Papalardi
Peter Hook
Donald "Duck" Dunn
Andy Fraser
Scott Thunes
Geddy Lee
Etc Etc There really is no best bass player,drummer,guitarist etc.
There are so many talented unknown and known musicians that making a list is highly subjective,nevertheless I put down a few whose work I enjoy listening to and I am sure I have forgotten even more that I like !
