I vote for Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead
not because he was the best, but becuase he was the most creative , in my mind.

Bobby Sheenan is the bass player admired by Via (and also one of my favourite)
He played in Blues Traveler up until a year or so ago when he died of a drug overdose in New Orleans. For those of you who think Run-Around when you hear Blues Traveler, get hold of some of their older albums like Save His Soul and hear Bobby really rip it up! That man sure knew how to groove!
Rest in peace bassman
