You would enjoy the tribute Govt. Mule did for their deceased bassist, Allen Woody. They gathered 25 of his favorite bass players after his death and explored their different styles. Mike Gordon (Phish) directed it and the dvd is worthy of finding since you are into playing. They featured everyone from old guys like John Entwistle, Bootsy, Larry Graham and Jack Bruce to somewhat newer guys like Flea and Oteil Burbridge (Woody died in 2000, so it's a little dated, but still pretty timeless). The extra features section of the dvd present the bassists in more detail and Larry goes nuts in that one as well.

I remember being especially impressed with Rocco Prestia (Tower of Power) and Entwistle (The Who) because they made impeccable playing look effortless with their jazzy style and seasoned chops.

It's pretty cheap on amazon and there's one left:
http://www.amazon.com/Govt-Mule-Rising-Matt-Abts/dp/B00006L921Most of the complaints about the film are unfounded (lots of G.M. fans thought they were purchasing a friggin' concert video... I suppose G.M. fans aren't the brightest as a whole

). There are two companion cd's if you want the music seen in the film (the Deep End Vol. I and II) and a concert dvd/cd set that came later... the Deepest End (go figure

). It's a treat to see some of the bassists performing the studio material live with Matt Abts and Warren Haynes as the mule is all about live music, IMO.
I think the efforts over several years by the band to honor Allen stated a lot about their character and his impact on their lives.
