Yay. I would have cried if he wasn't included.

Also, one that wasn't listed: one of my favourite bassists is Ryan Martinie. I know that the band he is associated with isn't very appealing (Mudvayne) but he is an awesome bassist. The sounds he can make with his bass sometimes are just insane. There's one particular song (I can't for the love of me remember its name) where his bass actually sounds like a really weird pig snort. But in a cool way. ANYWAY, in my opinion he'd be up there.

Pig snorting bass tone? How charming.

lol it's hard to explain okay, it's this really cool sound and I don't know how he makes it come out of his bass but it's pretty damn awesome.
