There is no point, the best white bass players in the world are not in your list.

Remco Hendrix.

If you've never heard of him, YouTube search "Remco's Groove Lab" and prepare to hit the floor.

Strictly as a bass player, I don't think JPJ is top 10. He's so much more than a bass player, though.

No one has mentioned Tony Levin, Carrol Kaye or David Hood, either.

(ETA: You budding groovemasters out there can still take lessons from Carrol Kaye via Skype, if you're interested.)

Carol Kaye needs to be on the short list:

some of her credentials
- Boots are Made for Walkin : Nancy Sinatra
- America the Beautiful: Ray Charles
- Wichita Lineman: Glen Campbell
- Feelin Alright: Joe Cocker
- La Bamba : Ritchie Valens
- Scarborough Fair : Simon & Garfunkel

From 1964-1973 she primarily played bass and appeared on over 10,000 recordings of pop songs, jazz standards, television show themes, and movie scores.



edit: good call Ace
