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
Steve Swallow
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.
