Listen to some classical or jazz, if you seriously consider it all wanking crap, then it seems that you have little appreciation for the evolution of music. :-/
Classical isn't know for its bass guitar work.

Some of the bassists that were suggested did make me think that 'good' can often equate to 'wank' (Jaco Pastorius for one. Technically amazing, but I've never heard a piece he played on that I liked... he even messed up that pop song with his farting bass), while others (like Wooten) really add a depth with their bass playing that supports what are already great songs.
