This is tough. I want to say Jeff, but with one or two exceptions I think the bass parts that I tend to notice the most are the ones from Alice in Chains, so I'll go with Inez

actually, listening to these the JCP track is certainly more impressive. Bass is tricky since so much of what it's doing goes unnoticed.

I love the way Jeff's sound bends around the notes.
