My Take
Jason "Cone" McCaslin is the kind of musician I find easy to root for. Born in Toronto in 1980, he's the bassist and backing vocalist of Sum 41, and what stands out to me is that he and Deryck Whibley are the only two members on every single studio album. In a band with as much turnover as that, being the steady low end through all of it says a lot about reliability. He's also a singer-songwriter and producer, so the musicality runs deeper than just holding down the groove. I tend to think the players who last longest are the ones nobody fights to keep, and Cone reads that way to me.
