Entwhistle was incredibly innovative.

Helped develop round wound strings and usually had incredible tone that always cut through. He understood biamping highs and lows, clean and effects. He had a solid ascending triplet which allowed him a more lyrical playing voice.

Better or best? Like all artist he was the best at doing John Entwhistle.

Speaking of round wounds and the best, there was this kid from Florida.

Perhaps you mean this guy?

Too tragic that he left us so early in life. Yes, he could be a braggart, but he did his best to back it up. The best? That could be argued forever. A unique and original voice? For sure!!!

My heart goes out to JB, JE and JP for bringing life tot eh electric bass guitar, and along with such luminaries as John Paul Jones. Geddy Lee and Chris Squire, who helped me to develop my voice on the instrument too!

  I met Jaco's son Felix a couple years ago at Victor Wooten's camp. What a guy, great personality, and I dare say, an even better player than his dad. Of course, when your father is Jaco, you're starting point is a lot higher off the ground than most cats...
  
  Jack Bruce was one of the greats, truly sad to hear this.
