Jeepers Gang. I don't think Niblet will be happy with the exclusion of Fieldy.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

Updated once more. Bruce Palmer (Buffalo Springfield) is in, Andy West (Dixie Dregs) is out.

West is a great bassist, but probably way too obscure for this list. Dregs could be considered more of a fusion band anyway.

It feels a lot more complete now. I think I'm gonna write little profiles for everyone on the list and then post them here, like a countdown.

But I'll make them all short and have every one finished before I start posting them, so I won't end up never finishing it like I do with a lot of my MB projects.

i'm a bit sad that the bassist of Dixie Dregs is out, but yeah, they're really a fusion band anyway

Yeah.

West, Rick Laird, Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorious, Marcus Miller and Stanley Clark do deserve honorable mentions though.

It's a well made list but I can't get over the feeling that some of the musicians here are only on this list because of their band's popularity/place in music history.
