I love what Martin Turner does on the track 'Handy' (from the Wishbone debut). And his playing on Vas Dis is outstanding.

Martin Turner from the list-great player In general, Helmut Koellen (Triumvirat, Jail, solo) He is criminally under-rated, and hardly anyone talks about him.

of course it does.. but what can you do. Ahhh.. subscribe to the notion that discusion is where you find it.. not always were you might have wanted it to go. Hey besides.. I wouldn't bitch too much...at least YOUR polls have some life and a pulse.. mine are usually D.O.A. I had a years long streak of threads that never made it past the first page

I love progarchives. Give a choice from a list and you can guarantee that someone (or several) awkward sods will say "it's none of those, it's XXXXX". Drives you mad.

As far as Jowitt goes, I'm a huge IQ fan but prefer Tim Esau any day of the week...don't like Jowitt's tone at all so no vote for him. Even though I absolutely cannot stand Renaissance and Annie Haslam (though I really like the debut album) I'd give Camp the vote. Great tone and adventurous playing...just hate the band he's in

Martin Turner. Wishbone Ash music isn't the same without the upfront melodic basslines.

Gotta admit that Camp is almost as good as Squire. Hell, even what he plays on Camera Camera smokes a lot of bassists..............

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Jon Camp always blended in quite well without being cocky into that symphonic splendor that called itself Renaissance. Among this list, he's my vote getter.

Crucify me, but seriously - PETER CETERA. Spend some time with Chicago VII and you'll hear quite an accomplished Jazz-Rock bassist, not a pop-singer...........
........and from this list - Martin Turner for sure.

Hi, Jaco for sure ... but my list would also include Lothar Meid, Bootsie Collins, Charlie Haden and Stanley Clark!

Please try again. Please read the question again, carefully. Which is the best of THESE bassists? The ones on the list. Not difficult to understand, even for someone of with the terrible disadvantage of not speaking English.
God, there's always an awkward one, isn't there? And it's usually Micky.
