In no particular order

Dan Briggs (BTBAM)
Les Claypool (Primus)
Cliff Burton (Metallica)
Victor Wooten
Tim Commerford (RATM)
Justin Chancellor (Tool)
Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse)

To name a few.
 
For pure sex tone and slap feel Marcus Miller, cool as the other side of the bed.

Jaco of course, his song Lisa when he was on his game is incredible.

Stanley Clarke of course.

Trip Wamsley, most have not heard of him but you should.

Geddy Lee, please ditch the Fender and get back to the Ric.
