Ralph Armstrong with Jean Luc Ponty. An overlooked master at in the pocket groove playing. Bill the Bhudda Dickens will change your life! Richard Bona live is a way to be re-born when it comes to making a bass sing/cry for mercy! I don't recommend Danny Partridge from the Partridge Family TV series...no pocket grooves there ;-)

I saw Ralph live in BRussels together with John Mac Laughlin and TMO about 30 yeard ago.
 
Oh boy ....quite a bassplayer!!!
It was the first time I heard a bass-player using effects on his bass (wah-wah, fuzztones etc...)
 
Paul the bad one

Two more Paul!  You can do it, you're almost there!

Jonahs Hellborg. Saw him with the second incarnation of Mahavishnu playing doubleneck Wal bass. Getting a Distilate 5 on Tuesday, thanks Mica & Susan for your suggestions.
