Good Choice Adriaan. My all time favourite performer (Miles that is).

Not Paul Chambers?

Nope. I love Miles' entire catalogue regardless of his bass player. I will freely admit though that he has employed some of the best;-)
Ron Carter would figure very highly in my list of most listened to Miles albums.

Can anyone show me any pics of N W R's 2 Alembics
I'm nearly convinced that one of them is sitting on my sofa NOW.
No kidding

Graeme, you need to go back and listen to Somebody to Love again.  I didn't mention in in my original post in this thread, but it is a true bass anthem.  Jack's muscular, roiling, moto perpetuo bass line and those thundering double stops in the choruses definitely make the song a bass anthem.  Too bad it was mixed so low compared to Grace's voice.

Water Song anyone?

by Hot Tuna, a very cool choice!
 
Somebody to Love sounded best to me as a musical newby in the late 60s in a diner in Dubuqe with a surprisingly powerful Seeburg jukebox system.
 I also have had major goosebumps over the years from Heart Of The Sunrise by Yes

The Pretender's  is it Middle of the road-ohio? You know, the one with the kitty meow and driving bass line.  
Hey georgie boy, I,ve been surfin' like crazy, only photos I see are of the custom's and 60's jazz bass. Too bad, it's gonna take a sherlock holmes to find nwr's alembic trails.   NLP

If I can still find the mag in my loft I'll try to scan the strings ad he appears in. It's pretty small though.

ok, I'll contribute two:
 
Boogie Oogie Oogie -- A Taste of Honey
Silly Love Songs -- Wings
 
Flame on!  

The ohohohohoh bit reminded me of Back on the Chain Gang but that has no middle of the road. But then again they also did Middle of the Road

One of the best alembic bass solos of all time!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZLLv4s4WvI&feature=related
