Hey Stefan good choice on instrument, nothing beats playing bass lines IMO....as for amps I use the 60 Watt Roland Bass Cube, the orgional version, had it since the early 80's and it's still going strong.
Bass lines...one name says it all....Jaco
then there's Marcus, Stanley....

Yep, Stanley is awesome on electric and on upright bass. Some of the stuff on RTF Live is hard to believe. These days I'm more drawn to Charlie Haden, a man of very few, very well chosen notes (not that he's not pretty quick when he chooses). As an old progger I have to put in a plug for Chris Squire and a relative unknown - Jeff Berlin. His work on the first three Bruford albums is great but then he gave up gigging because he needed a steady income to look after a disabled child. He was interviewed in Bass Player a few years ago and his take on what makes a good player is worth a read. And I've just discovered (while writing this) that he is still doing albums http://www.bassplayer.com/article/je...j-records/5064.
