I could have named a hundred this morning, but it's like going into a record store: once there I can't name a thing. So, here's a few.
Leon Wilkeson
Dennis Dunaway
Roger Glover
Glenn Cornick
Chris Squire
Pete Way (because I played the 26 minute version of "Flying" at the station this morning and it was awesome)
Stu Cook
Greg Lake

I'm not sure I know enough bassists by name...never studied names much.  Here are some I have definitely enjoyed:

Duck Dunn (amazed I'm the first to mention him)
James Jamerson
Jack Bruce
John Paul Jones (Led Zep)
John Lodge (Moody Blues)
Ray Brown
Bob Babbitt (Motown)
Jerry Scheff
Carol Kaye
Greg Lake (ELP)

I've met Sam Bolle (formerly of Agent Orange, now with Dick Dale), and he is simply fantastic as well.  I'm sure there are many others I have enjoyed, but I just don't know that many names.

Comment: I respected Jaco's abilities but didn't particularly like his style of playing, so he's not on my list.
