i couldn't find a thread for this but was listening to some live our lady peace today and their bassist is really good.
i'm talking purely of bass-playing skills and not song writing or singing.

We could list all the crazies like Victor Wooten and Jaco Pastorius... but if we're talking about bass players who also made good music, I'm with Claypool, flea, Stanley Clarke.
