Ok, as a professional bass player of umpteen years, add me to the fan list:

- Paul S. Denman (Sade)
- Ray Brown
- Mike Porcaro (Toto)
- David Hungate (Toto)
- Will Lee (too numerous to mention.. note, Will received a 'lifetime achievement award' with Bass Player magazine)
- as far as the "far out" technical stuff, try Alain Caron
