Hands down Les Claypool, but he plays in too many bands for my liking :(
Also, John P Jones, fucking awesome and should be mentioned out of respect. LZ rocks lol :D

All bass players look cool, peat.
Well, except me of course - and Ian from where I work, lyke.

Nice trio; Geddy is a master (and my favorite) and Wooten is fantastic, though sadly underappreciated.
I've heard some Dream Theater...BTW-Geddy's a fan of theirs, apparently.

it's crazy that someone can be a fan of a band that they themselves surely imspired, or paved a way for at least. :)

That thread of appreciation runs through everything Rush does, I find; predecessors as well as successors.
Dean Peer is another great bassist.

I'm gonna get flamed into the ground for this: but I'm putting my neck out on the line :P
Krist Novoselic.

Krist Novoselic.
Flamed?
Why?
He's simply your choice.
You might prompt others to review his work a bit more closely, at any rate.
I'm not a large Nirvana fan, but I've got several cuts in my library; I'll be paying more attention next time I listen. :)

Electric I will second others who have mentioned Victor Wooten. I saw him with the Flecktones a few years ago and he did things that I didn't think were possible on ANY stringed instrument, let alone a bass. Positively mesmerizing. Flecktones tickets have gotten pretty expensive, but it may be worth it just for VW.
Acoustic (being a big bluegrass fan) I have to mention Edgar Meyer and Mark Schatz -- part of that first tier of the genre's instrumentalists, along with Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, etc.
