Paul McCartney is up there, John Deacon (absolutely plebian but goddamn if his basslines aren't memorable) and Tina Weymouth if we're talking at around the 80s.

Pink Floyd comes to mind.

Maybe JJ Burnel from the Stranglers?
He's certainly up there at least

Brian Ritchie

Black Flag

Having only one guitar made it stand out very well imho. Especially during the solos.

Also:
The bassline in Lowrell Simon's 'Mellow Mellow' is lackluster in the original, imo, but man, it defines Massive Attack's 'Lately.'
I can't remember any others offhand, but I've noticed a lot of sampled basslines that are kinda whatever in their original recording, but someone uses it in a remix or whatever and it's totally transformed.

Greatest bass player of all time desu

Flea is a bottomless pit of basslines. John Deacon from Queen. JPJ. Paul McCartney.

Nate Mendel in Sunny Day Real Estate had some ridonculously catchy bass lines. Of course that was before Dave Grohl made him his bitch.
