Think about their technique and style and not only if they sing well.

Im a drummer,and bass is the main thing i pay atention to (rhythm section n all that). Victor Wooten takes bass playing to another level, and Flea kicks ***, Mark King of level 42 was good when he wasnt showing off.

The incomparable Jean-Jacques Burnel. Without a doubt the most melodic and dramatic bassist ever to grace a stage. His riffs are the stuff of legend, his speed, agility and sheer power unmatched. His "lead bass" style was counterpointed by a slashing rhythm guitar (Hugh Cornwell) and complimented by soaring keyboard runs from Dave Greenfield and one of the punchiest drummers since John Henry Bonham, Jet Black. If you've never checked out Rattus Norvegicus IV or No More Heroes, Black and White or The Raven albums (by The Stranglers), then do yourselves a huge favour and marvel in awe at the sheer excellence. JJ was voted best bassist 6 years running in the NME from 76 - 82.
The only person ever to come close to him was Bruce Foxton of the Jam.

The late Jaco Pastorius is the undeniably greatest bassist ever to walk the face of the earth.

Flea from RHCP- Crazy Fast with his riffs, always creative.
Mike Herrara from MxPX- Never seen somebody do a 360 spin while their bass was 10 feet in the air above their head, then catch it and keep playin like he did.
Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio- Creative, original, amazing.
