    No one has mentioned Jacko Pastorius!
    He was a legend.
    Tragic end to a bass god.

    David Ellefson from Megadeth isn't a bad bassist either. Just listen to Peace Sells. Magic! :)

    Yeah he rocks! Here you raise another point though: plectrum or fingers? Lots of great bassists (like Ellefson indeed) use a plectrum but I can't help thinking bass must be finger-picked or it sounds too much like a guitar....

    the best bassest has to be cliff burton.
    if you ever get a live version of master of puppets with cliff burton then you are in for a treat with cliffs live bass solo.
    it is really hard to get your hands on though,
