I'd never heard his name before, but I found this after googling for who played on "Bad Luck", which my mom always used to listen to and I - as a teenage aspiring bassist - would occasionally attempt to play, very badly.  I've always loved that bassline. So groovy, ridiculously busy, but it works!
So I found this article, and wow he played on a LOT of things:

A very accomplished man. Much respect.

Here's the song that got me there:
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy

Alanko




Well it's goodnight from me...
