Honourable mentions for John Entwistle, Sting, Martin Glover and Paul Raven

I didn't realise Gary Glitter used to play bass in his earlier 1960s incarnation....
...which reminds me, has anybody mentioned Suzy Quatro?

Suzi Q? Good shout.

Musically.

Always had a lot of time for Colin Mouldings bass playing. Happy to play behind Andy Partridge, but pretty inventive at times.

Hang on a minute, has anyone mentioned Dave Allen?
