Chris Layhe will always have a place in my heart. Particularly his stuff on The Small Price of a Bicycle. First time I ever really noticed bass playing on stuff.
Best great big hairy bollocks bassist I've seen of late is Julia Ruzicka of Future of the Left.

This is a tough choice, and there are different standards for different kinds of music. As a bass player I have a lot of favourites! To make it easier for me, I'll stoop to categorising and give my top 5 for a couple of different broad 'genres'. These are favourites rather than me claiming they are the best players ever. If it was more than 5 I could certainly cram some more on the 'rock list' ;-)
ROCK
Cliff Burton
John Entwistle
Jack Bruce
Joey DeMaio (even if you don't like Manowar in general - I admit to liking some of their stuff - Joey's 'Sting of the Bumblebee' bass solo is all the evidence you need!)
Tim Bogert
JAZZ
Stanley Clarke
Reinhard Karwatky (Dzyan)
Bernard Paganotti
Barry Tiplady (Quasar [the Australian band - broadly jazz rock but really a lot more, as with Dzyan])
Charles Mingus

Can't narrow it down to 5 but this is probably my football team (in alphabetical order).
Mick Anker
Barry Adamson
Julian Cope
Steve Currie
Bernard Edwards
Peter Hook
Graham Lewis
Alan Mair
Les Pattinson
Robbie Shakespeare
Jah Wobble
