Justin Chancellor for sure!

Robert Smith/Simon Gallup (I think Smith wrote most of the bass lines)

Just cause so much of The Cure's stuff was held together by repetitive, interesting, melodic basslines, until the early nineties anyway. The basslines for songs like "Just Like Heaven" and "Fascination Street" were amazing, and a song that never seems to get mentioned, again glued together by an awesome bassline, is "Sinking" off "The Head On The Door".

In terms of technical, it would prob be Steve Digiorgio or Tony Choy.... amazing lightning stuff.

For Jazz, one of my favourite CDs ever is "Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus" so there's my answer

John Myung, Alex Webster, Sean Malone

Another name I think I forgot: Peter Hook with New Order. He's more of a lead bassist, but his lines and sound are so damn memorable.
