Thanks for all the info! Will spend some time checking out all of
these. Apart from willie dixon, anyone in the Blues world of note?
Do any blues or rock double bassist use a bow? Jazz?

Also,
don't forget the great Paul Chambers
If you're gonna go that far then definitely check out Jimmy Blanton.
He basically invented walking bass. For swing, I think his feel
absolutely can't be topped. Seriously, over PC Ray Brown, Oscar
Petiford. If you are interested in the role of bass as a rhythm
section instrument (as opposed to a super-chops/soloist) then it's
good idea to check out some drummers/great-rhythm-sections.
