This has been discussed already, recently, but here are two:
Jazz: Steve Swallow
Funk: Bobby Vega |

Their bassist used a pick and roundwounds. I thought he had one of the greatest tones ever. Although he is not a "funk" bassist, Chris Squire got awfully funky on "Lucky Seven" from his solo album, "Fish Out of Water" back in the day.
