Some great talent here. A couple of more off the run suggestions:
Jaco Pastorious- his contributions to Joni Mitchell's catalogue are great. I especially like 'Hejira'
Fernando Saunders- adds to some of Lou Reed' best works. I like Live in Italy.
Peter Hook from New Order helped create their sound.
These players use the bass to "sing' as a lead instrument more than just provide an underpinning for the other instruments.
