Please allow me to introduce myself. Wow you guys know you stuff!
I L O V E this topic, since I've been a bass player from the age of ten. 38 years of snaps, pops and paradiddles. You do the math. I won't name drop, but I did do dome extensive touring, and managed to meet a few of the guys you've mentioned. Some of them before they was famous. ( Picture Sheehan as a Hari Krishna)
James Jameson as the session bassist for Motown records, has played on more number one's than The Beatles, The Stones, Elvis, and Frank Sinatra put together.
The bass he fell in love with was a 64' Fender Precision that he never changed the strings on.Nicknamed "The Funk Machine" partly because of the funky old strings, it was stolen from his house. He died two weeks later.
The original "Funk Machine", if ever found, would command huge $$$$ at auction.
John Paul Jones
Carole Kaye,- check out The Beach Boys albums, Dylan, Joe Cocker
Sharlee D'Angelo (Witchery)
Frankie Lennon (The Afflicted, SF)
James Jameson

Clamis_Apocalypicae: The dude from Megadeth can play sum bass.
Most bass players are alcoholic idiots that deserve a fish slapping. They rank only slightly above drummers in ability correctly drink water and speak almost coherently.
Guitar players rule your world, and they can also play bass.
Here's one for ya Clavis:
What do you call a guy that hangs around with musicians?
....a bass player.
That ones been thrown at me about a zillion times.

I just saw Vic last week down here in CH. Put on an amazing show. Did this wicked medly where they went from a extremely heavy rock song, brought it around to Kashmir, and brought it back around Let me stand next to your fire. All of his brothers were there on set. Wild shit. His new album is badass funk, but the dude isn't the best singer.
"SHITBOKS, read mutherfuker."
Let me just respond by saying: Huh?

I've been a bassist for over twenty years.
Tony Levin is, decidedly, not of this earth.
Some other inhuman thumpers, not yet mentioned, include Mike Watt, Michael Manring and Robert Trujillo.
As for Fave Bass Players: Gerald V. Casale, John Doe and Fumi from Polysics.
Q: How many lead guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Two. One to change the bulb and the other to say: "Yeah I can do that... Faster, too!"
Q: How many bassists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. The Keyboard player does it with his left hand.

Some dude showed up at the concert from SC who was playing this bad ass slide bass on a six-string fretless. I think he said he was Mike Watt-long blonde hair old dude. I saw him the minute he came on stage cause he was the only white dude.
Edit: Ok not Mike Watt but something equally plain and hard to remember. All the bass heads in the audience went "OMG" while ordinary people went "huh??.

Even though there are far better bass players than Jaco Pastorius now, (obviously since he's dead), he was by far one of the most influential bassist of his time who's playing technique shaped the way we hear the bass and the attitude towards bassists today. His son, Felix Pastorius, is amazing as well.
Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and Paul Jackson are some of my favorites. |

Stu Hamm's not bad and has pretty good credentials also being bassist for Steve Vai,Satriani and now Santana.
Stanley Clarke and Les Claypool are both mindblowing in their own right |
