Stu Hamm. Virtuoso.
I've never heard "Going To California" played solo on bass before this. Now it's got me wondering what other gems could translate well to the bass.

Some more bass players:
Victor Wooten
Les Claypool
Geddy Lee (Or rather, I should say Sean Andrews doing a very clean cover of Geddy Lee... only using this video because it shows the technical skill that Geddy has. Who cares if it happens to be somebody else playing)
Giovanni Benedetti (crap quality video but you get the point kinda... and if you don't, http://www.myspace.com/toastmachine and listen to "Crappy Song")
Thought I'd contribute, being a bassist and all.
edit: more
Jean Baudin
I'll add more later

Fractal Design Define R2 XL "Monolith"
i know the above mentions are more jazzy and clean in sound, but i thought a tribute to bass players should include the late great Cliff Burton.
I hope you don't mind.
Every passing hour brings the Solar System forty-three thousand miles closer to Globular Cluster M13 in Hercules — and still there are some misfits who insist that there is no such thing as progress.

Billy Sheehan. Love his solos.
