    McCartney. First melodic bass player thanks to his origins as a guitarist. The rest learned from him.

    Paul Simonon - The Clash but never had the pleasure of seeing so can't count him in my list, but another close to my top 3 would be Chris Wolstenholme- Muse incredible bassist.

    Martin Turner - Wishbone Ash.
    Tony Levin - King Crimson
    Bert Ruiter - Focus
    Greg Lake - King Crimson and ELP
    Roger Waters - Pink Floyd
    John Entwistle - The Who

    Obviously I have no idea how good any of these actually were but they played in some of my favourite bands :).
