Every single note Steve Harris plays.

Some of the Dream Theatre stuff is pretty cool bass-wise.

Yes!! Steve Harris is sweet, and Dream Theater is fucking awesome! Myung is absolutely amazing at bass; Dream Theater and Maiden are two of my favourite bands rock3

In my rush to name Another One Bites The Dust I forgot about Steve Harris, the netire reason I picked up the bass. Infinite Dreams and the Phantom of the Opera are the shit, and let's not forget. He isn't root noting the guitarists, the guitarists are root noting Steve Harris.

Ice Ice Baby

Rick James - Super Freak

EDIT: Shite. Got confused there. That would be Hammer Time

Earl Falconer is the greatest bassist ever outside of rock music.

No.

Yes, because I'm sure you've heard all sorts of stuff from him.

Okay, make it outside of rock and blues then.

I was thinking of Jazz more so.

And,

Jaco Pastorius

Ron Carter

Paul Chambers

Michael Henderson

Cecil McBee

Honestly, I have never heard Earl Falconer, but I can't imagine a bassist in a Reggae-based group doing anything nearly as sophisticated as what those men play(ed). It's the same thing for drummers.

Odd that you say that when bass and percussion/drums are probably the most used instruments in reggae.

It's a rhythmic music, but it's very simple harmonically.
