Jimi Hendrix (RIP)
Eric Clapton
Alex Lifeson

(There are so many. Jimi is a given, but after that you could throw in so many, it's ridiculous. All kinds of cats in multiple genres (I assumed you were talking about Classic Rock/Get the Led Out, Rocktober, etc.)).

EDIT: I was a semi-professional bass player for a while, but I am making my list as a fan, and not a critic.

Anyone ever seen Yngwie Malmsteen live? saw him in about 1984 at the tender age of 9 and left with under the impression he was God-like!

2.Jimi Hendrix
3.Eric Clapton

I love Beck as well, "he's not a bad boy, he's just ambitious".
