Rika mm' from Melt-Banana is impressive to watch, if for nothing else than seeing such a tiny woman belt out such insanely high-speed riffs.

yes! you will also notice if you've seen 'em live, that the bass is about the same size as her.

"It's nightblade the halfling theif and he's carrying a 12 pack of Mountain Dew."
"No way! His character is carrying mountain dew too?!"
"If I roll a ten or above then yes.... Eleven."

Mary Huff - Bassist for Southern Culture On The Skids (if you haven't seen this band, check them out next time they're in your area)
Entwhistle of The Who? countless great bass lines
Ron Carter who has spanned decades from playing jazz to playing with hip-hop fusion folks?
Larry Taylor - Canned Heat and various John Mayall projects? Well, I'm not surprised, he's not well known in current music circles.
On another note - I met Jaco Pastorius once, not because of music, but I played "pee wee" football with his little brother
Conatonc:
Jeph's pick of James Jamerson was a good nod to an often-ignored player. Standing in the Shadows of Motown is a great movie about all of the Motown backing musicians that any music fan should check out.
I tend to lean towards Claypool myself. He can run the show or just sit back and play a support role, depending on the band.
If we're talking punk bass, I feel that Karl Alvarez of The Descendents and ALL deserves a mention. He's been doing really creative basslines for 2 decades now.
