He also plays great fingerstyle, pick style, and fretless. He's just a total monster of versatility.

Truly a virtuoso.
People rarely bring him up.
I'm glad someone did. Truly check him out.
Mastered slap and melodic playing.
Jonas Hellborg

+1 for Louis Johnson, Robert Trujillo, Flea
PS. What do you mean by "some mainly slap"?
I'm thinking of thudding, brutal, heavy sound that makes the venue shake and punches you in the gut.

newest hottest slap artst I know of is Doug Johns. You Love his new CD.
Doug does some youtube instructionals. Vic is the king of the hill though. It'll actually be nice to hear Vic meld back into a more traditionalist bassists' role.
For the record, in my MOST humblest of opinions , we've become too "slap happy". Recently seen bassists slapping only during their solos. Which to me is weird. I;m talking like 4-8-12 bar solos here, not 1 bar , 1/2 bar riffs.
Why do I think its overdone? Well, frankly slap was a rhythmic answer to not having a drummer, and now its gone all the way to being almost a preferred method of soloing.
Buuuuuuuut, when you talk to one of the today's masters, they'll tell you that its the pulse that most important in the slap techniques. Be it the individual articualtions making up the paradiddles, or the pulse of the whole tune, which is not really how slap is being used. Or potentialy "misused".
Next time a pro bassist up on stage gets 4-8 bars to let it hang out, I would like to hear some old fashioned melodic "singing", rather than slap.
