Agree on Eddie Gomez sometimes borderline between stunning and overdoing matters ....
Regarding the acoustic bass "guitar" approach, really love it if used as part of a solo/bassline .... masterfully exercised by Reggie Workman, Ahmed Abdul-Malik, Jimmy Garrison, Francois Jenny-Clark, Reggie Johnson, Jean-Jacques Avenel ... if used as main technique it becomes truly boring (best example Alex Blake from the late 80`s onwards, saw him several time with the Randy Weston Trio and each of his solos was structured/sounded the same) ....
