In no particular order:

Geddy Lee

Sting (police years, ghost in the machine)

Victor Wooten

Jack Bruce

Aston Barrett

Flea

Phil Lesh

Robert Smith

... And I can’t think of any others off-the-cuff

 

@jerryg123  - Walking on the Moon has probably one of the best bass lines in a rock song. So I would have to disagree with you on Sting.

Paul McCartney, Flea, Carl Radle and Cliff Hugo come to mind.

Heard Flea and Hugo many times live as I've been an LA resident since 1977,

Radle just once live.

Wasn't a Jack Bruce fan (saw Cream) until his later years.

Got to give Roger Waters a mention as some of his bass lines are imbedded in my brain - to the end.

McCarthy is probably my favorite with his subtle/brainy stuff.
