Y'all pretty much covered everyone I would say, though I always find Lonnie Marshall from Weapon of Choice missing. If you happen to be sleeping on him WAKE UP!!!!

Supernova said: Meshell Ndegeocello - if Plantation Lullabies doesn't convince you, than I don't know what will. The girl has FEEL up the ying yang. She calls herself a meat and potatoes bassist. Meat and potatoes never tasted so good. I had the priviledge of seeing 2 intimate sets with Meshell recently! 
She didn't sing all she did was play bass and yes she did hold it down!! No solos or anything to fancy, just some wicked grooves! | |

I thought nobody was going to mention Les Claypool, but I see he got a few deserved votes towards the bottom.
I would also go with: Larry Graham Bootsy Flea Prince John Entwistle Paul McCartney (as a pioneer more than a technical whiz) Marcus Miller Jaco Stanley Clarke Charles Mingus I think Rhonda's pretty good, and damn cute. Check this song out at:

paligap said: He really put a pot on touring with D'angelo recently! It's funny, I knew him in the 80's and 90's primarily as a great fretless bassist - and he and drummer Manu Katche as a rhythm team were England's answer to Marcus Miller and Omar Hakim; But when I saw him with D'angelo, I got to see the other side - seriously funky with Deep Pocket Grooves!
Made My Jaw drop!If you haven't heard it already, check out the lines he's playing on "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" with Paul Young. The fact that he's funkin' on the fretless allows him to play some really slimy lines. tA Tribal Disorder

In the 1980s, Soul Train played the live video to that tune and floored me. Thanks for demystifying the person partly responsible for that one. And, um, I knew my Rhonda was stayin' true to me... so  back. | |
