IMO this list--like a lot of these lists--is biased towards classic rock, prog (not a surprise), and generally older music. Overall, a good job and one of the best lists of this kind I have seen, but I have a few observations.
Les Claypool seems too low for my tastes; he may be hurt by his product not being as cohesive of an effort, but his bass playing is incomparable.
I love seeing Dirk Lance and P-Nut.
Justin Chancellor may be one of the bassists who I think was affected by your bias. Also Rob Trujillo and Tim Commerford. I would really like to hear your thoughts on their placement.
Like I said, a good list. A few other bassists I enjoy and believe are deserving of an "honorable mention": Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh), Mike Dirnt (Green Day), Eric Wilson (Sublime), and Shavo (System of a Down)...
