Sorry Terry, had to do it! LOL!

My opening bid, what these guys do with only 4 strings is amazing:

Stu Hamm, kicks into high gear at 2:00:

I really enjoy James Jamerson's work, not really a solo artist but one heck of a player. As a studio musician and lead bass player of the Funk Brothers from Detroit, played on many of the Motown hits in the 60' and 70's.

Lots of great stuff and tons of guys you've never heard of.

I'd throw out 2 of my favorites:

Tony Levin

Dave LaRue

Any YT search will yield gobs of great solos, many of which are improvised and unique.
These guys both have a lot of unorthodox methods too. Very :cool:
