Geddy Lee (Rush) - YYZ

 

[ChrisWins]

Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead

almost any recording of a show in the 70's...
he thunders that bass... there's a reason many fans

Just as a sidenote, this thread is not about the best bassist of all time, it is the best bass performance in a song.

I am pretty partial to John Paul Jones in Zeppelin's "The Lemon Song"

Chris Squire (Yes)-- "Heart of the Sunrise" or "The Fish"

although

Tony Levin's playing on Discipline is pretty amazing...
