Most great players have already been mentioned.Those three are also great: John Patitucci, Fabio Fecchio (ex-Ephel Duath) and Eric Langlois.

I like anyone who plays the bass guitar like a bass guitar and not a regular guitar....

What dictates how an instrument should or should not be played? Even better, Who is qualified to dictate this? One should just play the instrument how they like to, experiment when they want, come up with good music and have that be that.

Agreed. He is flawless and plays with tons of energy. What I was really impressed with though is how humble and down to earth he is.

For sure man, he was always super chill whenever i met him. One of the greatest things ive ever witnessed was seeing him do back to back sets with augury and quo vadis... talk about a bass clinic.

He's damn good. But he's also a Jaco clone.

It's kinda hard not to be influenced by Jaco's playing. I wouldn't really call this guy a clone as he seems to have a variety of techniques under his belt.
