Probably Mick...

It's a great song but the bassline isn't very distinctive. I'd say Darryl or another sessionplayer.

All Darryl's bassline with Stones isn't very distinctive...

That's a good point. Everybody states that Darryl is an expert excellent bass player. I do not doubt it. Ok. He sure is technically light years away from Wyman. Ok. He played with Miles Davis and so on. Ok. But I have never felt anything while hearing him. Unlike Wyman.

Darryl is very diplomatic. That's what it's all about. He know that Wyman's place is a big void to fill. Darryl could play out Wyman any day, but he choose not to, simply by respect. Wyman was a destinctive part of The Stones, Darryl is a session player for them. If he was all over the place, he would take away the focus of the four real members of the band.

They ended being musically relevant long ago, so it don't matter anyway who is playing what and what for...

It's not about "playing out" or "being all over the place" - Darryl has tried both (bass solo Stray Cat Blues + +) - it's about making musical styles fit to swing.
That's Daryl's problem, imo.

He swings perfectly. The Stones thinks the same obviously.
The problem lies at Richards, Wood and Watts. Because if there is one thing The Rolling Stones can't do, it is to "swing". They are playing very stiff and akward -which is their charm, mind you.
They come from a diffent time and culture than Darryl, where it was not about beats per minute and being "in time", but about feeling. Darryl is shcooled, The Stones are not.
As a trained musician, Darryl can fit any style. Whereas members of The Stones fits one style -The Rolling Stones Style. (I know about Charlie's jazz, but he isn't a very good jazz drummer either, though fine enough).
If you put any trained bass player to play with The Stones, they will find the same problem as Darryl: They had an unshcooled bass player for 30 years, who's shoes are impossible to fill because he was not trained to swing. Then there is only option left: Be diplomatic.

You got it backwards...
One style? Did you get what the Stones are all about? Listen to Black and blue, for christ's sake, jeez!

A band with Joey Satriani, Steve Vai, Mark King and Simon Phillips would certainly be a wet dream for people who are interested in skilled musicians - but will they swing, and have they ever done that?
It's only to put on When The Whip Comes Down from Hampton 1981 to understand what Darryl never will be able to do.
