In my opinion, the greatest bass playing EVER recorded, any genre, is Paul McCartney in "Something". If you have the chance to hear the recently released Beatles remasters, the bass is pushed way up in the mix on all the tracks, and it's amazing to hear. Also, check out the bass in "Rain", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Penny Lane". Wow.
Paul McCartey is an awesome bass player, criminally underrated, and I would put him in my list of favorites & influential players....but not on my list of "greatest bass players". To me that has to take technical ability into account, and Macca is no Claypool or Wooten.

I think his melodic sense more than makes up for it, but that's just me!
'Thank You' on Zeppelin II is amazing as well.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
Fuck it. I'm going to bring the skunk to the lawn party and mention Limp Bizkit's "Rearranged." That's a pretty cool bass line regardless of what you think of the rest of the track.
It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.
- C. Klosterman
Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith has a cool bassline. The bass intro on Space Cadet by Kyuss is ace, Ozzys' No More Tears has a nice bassline, just about anything that Geezer Butler does is cool.
Chili Peppers - Apache Rose Peacock, Mellowship Slinky in B Major, Aeroplane, Sir Psycho Sexy, Green Heaven, Yertle The Turtle, Pretty Little Ditty, Taste The Pain, Transcending, and "Love Trilogy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL50e3zV_Ic

For whatever reason, I found myself getting on board with all things Maynard James Keenan lately...except for the Puscifer project. I'm not sold on that yet.
Most humans can't play Claypool's work. I've never seen anyone pull it off. The man is God in regards to a bass guitar. Strange since Primus sucks monkey dick.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overrated in my book. Alot of it is his big obnoxious bass sound.
May not be one of the best or anything special at all but the bass at the beginning of Metallica's 'The God That Failed' is some of the most bad ass shit I have ever heard
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

He's not overrated. I don't like his music but as far as bass goes, he's the Jimi Hendrix of that shit. I know of no other musicians who disagree with that. Metallica turned him down because he was too good for them.
I get what you're saying though. Either you're moved or not by certain music. Radiohead does nothing for me because of Yorke's high pitched woman voice. Millions of people love them. I don't. Then again, it's my earhole so who cares?
Long story short, Claypool is great at bass but his band can suck my ass.

about time someone mentioned Justin!!! Fuck, go listen to prison sex or 10,000 Days. That fucken dude plays a mean bass. And I agree track 3 aenima= Dirty!!! Justin is soooooo under rated!!!! He actually has to physically sit down to play 10,000 Days cuz it's so long and really trippy. Tool fucken rocks!!! Go see them if u haven't. Ah strike that, dnt go. I dnt want to happen with tool what happened with pj. Too many fucken pj fanatics!! Tool sux live. Stay home, dnt waste ur time seeing them live. Save ur money cuz they suck!!!
"Starless"-King Crimson....the bass lines in the coda are dynamic.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Allow me to introduce you to Mike Watt and fIREHOSE...Down With The Bass.
