Suicidal Tendencies/Infectious grooves
Faith No More
ZeroHour
Primus
FaceDown
Cliff Burton

Korn - I don't care what you guys say, I still like the sound of it on the first 3 albums. Pretty bold new sound at the time to make the bass be that thick. Good stuff!

Scott

 

[LivingCadaver]

not really metal but the bassist from Primus is fucking sick!

Also:

Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Sadus, Quo Vadis, etc.)

can't really think of any other right now but the bassist from Bolt Thrower does his job pretty well too.
