John paul jones, mostly due to his legacy and such.

However the best as a musician I think is Jaco.

And the bass player I'd wanna be is james jamerson, dude was in the perfect time, with the perfect job, with the perfect lines.

There are many well-known virtuosos from jazz and rock scene, who always sound entertaining.
For me it was these guys -

Stanley Clarke 80's jazz-rock/pop albums.
Billy Sheehan solo albums were nice.
Shawn Malone from Cynic and Gordian Knot.
Steve DiGiorgio for work with Schuldiner.
Some of Brian Bromberg.

Miroslav Vitous

Early, early Jaco (though he died young, he was already going downhill)
Stanley Clarke (also his early work)

Double-bass is a such nobler instrument then electric bass though.

Geezer knows how to fill the gaps and doesn't just mimic the rhythm guitar or drums.  Very few bass players can really play and give bass lines character.

Yeah, liked Claypool until I figured out he was a stoner trying to copy Tony Levin.  ;D

Jaco's son Felix plays a mean base too. Saw him play with Jeff Coffin at a friend's music school.

Bass players are just failed guitarists

most of them.   Some are extremely obnoxious artists too, just trying to be weird and alternative.

Me, I consider myself the GLUE that holds the band together.

I'm better than 99% of the guitarists I play with, on guitar.  But my role is so much more.  I keep the drummer calm.  I control dynamics.   I give the guitarist room to shine and quickly take it away if he gets too obnoxious.  My little pauses and slide-in notes tell the singer what to do. 

I also book/own PA so I make rules.  :)   I could play lead guitar 7 nights a week, but then I'd have a hard time dealing with a douche-bag rhythm section.  I get to control more when I'm on bass.  I create dynamics in every band... Or I replace the musicians lol.
