Yeah, Sting and McCartney...

Jack Bruce--first I noticed six-string bass--he played chords like single notes...

Klaus Voorman--he played for lots of people in the sixties-Yardbirds, Harry Nilsson, etc.

John McVie (sp) from Fleetwood Mac is very background, and I agree--bass is actually the driving force in the band, and, if done well, even the rhythm comes from the bass, not the drums.

Jackson Browne has an incredible bassist these days, too...he's so background, I don't know his name!!
