Easy answer for me in 4 words - JJ Burnel / Alisdair Ward
Why? Style and Sound. JJ is renowned for his bass sounds but listen to Love Song by The Damned for the best bass intro and best bass sound ever!

Flat Eric replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
I started playing guitar at around 12 ish and by One O' Clock, I was hungry!!!
Ha Ha, just my older man's sense of humour kicking in there!!!!
Played guitar in the first band but at that age, everyone was trying out what they could and…
Steve Ray replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
I always wanted to play bass, from when I was 13 or so. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford one and got side-tracked by exams, university, girls, jobs and family until I was 40 (I'm 42 now). Then, I saw Motorhead play at Wolverhampton. When I…

ah yes - with me it was the classic - started off playing guitar in band. I was pretty damn good at the rhythm thing but total CRAP at solos. Then heard James Jamerson, Donald Dunn, Jack Bruce, Chuck Rainey, Paul McCartney and fell in love with the…
Phil Nicol replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
Bass is my life even as I approach 50! It was J J burnell and Phil Lynott and then Niels O P that got mr on to basss now, guitar didn't get a look-in!
Chris Cleland replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
When I was at school in the '70's, learning to play the recorder and to read music was compulsory. Out of that I played saxophone, then clarinet for a while and did one concert with the school orchestra before giving it up to allow me to…
Paul Santilli replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
when I first thought about playing something, I reckoned my fingers were too fat for 6 strings, so it was 4 for me. But the rhythm is in my blood, and I like the feel of the bass sound. So I am a bass player and could not think to play anything else…
Tim Corbett replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
I was in my prime, well early 50’s, and doing the vocals and Blues Harp in a band. My middle son, bless him, announced that he wanted to play Bass (never played anything up to this point), I was delighted. Anyway I bought him a Burns Bison…
Barry Simmons replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
I suppose I was destined to play bass. My granddad was a double bass player, as well as a pianist, drummer, conductor and instrument repairer. My dad played double and electric bass, my elder brother played bass. What else could i do! Bass guitars…
Matt Russell replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
I started playing quite late, although I was taught classical guitar by a grumpy old greek when I was 10 (I learned NOTHING!!) and there was always an old acoustic laying around at Mum & Dads (the family story goes that Uncle John won it in a…
Gray Dourman replied to TripDave's discussion 'Then and Now'
Trip,
I'm with you...I like the digital sound and if wasn't for aggressive, young creative minds we'd still be at the mercy of shit producers and lazy engineers. Taking control of my own sound has been a liberating and stimulating…
Then and Now
I know we were admonished to not concern ourselves with how it was then and how it is now, but sometimes we need to go back to "then" to appreciate "now"NOW: A few days ago, you young fellow sent me an mp3 of his music he was working on and asked for an appraisal of it. The songs were fairly decent and the sound quality was very good.I told him as much. He also mentioned that he recorded them at home on his computer.THEN: Years ago, my first recordings were done on tape in a very expensive…See More

Perhaps there is a God....with a plan
I have a pretty good suspicion had I found huge fame and enormous fortune early in my career,
not that I have it now mind you, but I would be certainly dead by now from excess.
Not to mention with all that money…
