I can't really add anybody to your thread except maybe Flea.

Don't know half of those guys

Flea is great indeed

Peter Hook plays my favorite bass.

I don't know enough about famous bassists to make a comment. I mainly know groups but not the members' names. I do know that I absolutely love bass and real bass is one of the things that is missing in today's music. Bass and drums make a song for me. They provide the rhythm in a song, that undescribeable "thing" that makes you want to move. A strong bass line is one of the first things that catches my ear when I hear a song for the first time.
