Peter Steele. He may have thought of the bass as a "tenor guitar" but he played the hell out of it. He wrote the majority of Type O's songs, and, if you listen closely, alot of the stuff that sounds guitarish is actually his bass.
Geezer still kicks a$$ though.

Mine too...I don't listen to the super duper death metal heavy stuff these days, and you gotta give those guys a lot of credit.

Where is the love for Steve Digiorgio?
He played in alot of awesome bands: Death, Autopsy, Testament, Iced Earth, Obituary, Control Denied, Futures End and is a founding member of Sadus. Plus he plays fretless basses and he has a killer tone.

Here's a video with a couple of examples of his playing:

EDIT: Didn't see that he was mentioned multiple times. My point still stands, he is awesome.
