All of these guys are good.. Easily among the best ever.
Trust me when I tell you though.. the best, scariest, most talented guy I've ever seen on bass is..
Ricky Wolking. Learn the name.

He's a freak, a phenom, an absolute blast to be around. Did I mention he's a freak? He's been Jennifer Batten's (Michael Jackson's guitarist) bass player for years, recently was a member of the Nixons (might still be.. but they REALLY don't use his talent at all), and I toured around the US with him in a band several years ago. Ricky is the man..
Here's one example of his playing that'll just rip your head off:
