I would dare to say the best that I have every heard him play, and with a strong prominence.

Any thoughts?

I play guitar, but I agree: John's bass playing is something of extraordinary. His bass lines are very good, not filler at all. A prominent part of the song structure. Lindsey said, if I remember right, that John always had an indipendent vision on what to play: he played what he felt right, and listening to the record, and, this one in particular, I think he made the right choice.
