Is top 5 on skill level or profit level?
Can we elaborate?
Also Jaco Pastorius, Miroslav Vitous are jazz bassists that surely substantially better schooled and skilled than Paul McCartney. Paul I would say is the most profitable and popular bassist.
This list perhaps is the most truthful for rock bassists with great skill level.
They're all above the level and caliber of Paul McCartney.
I must also agree with John Paul Jones not only as bassist, but also as multi-instrumentalist. Definitely the brightest talent of Led Zeppelin.
My list would include:
Tony Levin
Trey Gunn
Bill Laswell
Jah Wobble
Flea
