But he is also a virtuoso with other instruments like the mandoline:

I love this version of Going to California.

Victor Wooten.
no wait - Stefan Lessard
or John Myung
how about Juan Alderete de la Peña from The Mars Volta?
ahhhhh I can't decide....
-Jonathan
Juan and Stefan are both really underrated.
Tony Levin - sweet stuff
I almost forgot about him! I would have never known about the chapman stick if I didn't listen to KC. I was addicted to his playing in Elephant Talk for the longest time. I was shocked the first time I saw it live on youtube when I realized that he played it entirely with tapping and also at how bizarre the instrument was.
Thanks for that! I haven't heard too much newer KC stuff... I got the earliest albums through Discipline and then just Thrak. I do like that KC song you linked a lot actually, I think I was just turned off by the idea of their main drummer now just using electronic drums (never been a fan of his electronic drum snare sounds) so I never really listened to their newer music. But that was a very nice and interesting song, and it has some great bass lines in it+1
Tony's replacement, Trey Gunn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrosbRuy_yE, was also outstanding. Love that McCartneyesque melodic bass style. Paul played a lot of tasty bass lines too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O7PnvVgQvA
Hard to choose amongst all the great bassists listed though.
