I couldn't pick three, but one of them would have to be Sean Malone. He really is an excellent, and highly underrated bassist.

Cone doesn't deserve to be with the other two...throw in the bass player for the White Stripes instead, and you got a list.

Top three of today? Probably Jonas Hellborg, Mark King and Geddy Lee! However, Stuart Hamm and Victor Wooten deserve honourable mentions!

Carlos D of Interpol
A lot of the bass lines he does are pretty complicated and a lot more advanced than most rock out there which is pretty dull.

While Victor and Marcus are both great players, I think they're a bit washed up. For me it's gotten to the point where it's "yeah, cool songs, nice slapping, whatever" I could be wrong, but I think the poster might be asking for people who haven't quite left there mark yet. And also, just my opinion, but players who may be still relevent to the "main stream"
In my opinion, three examples would be.

Nate Newton of Converge
Jeordie White of Nine Inch Nails
Jeff Caxide of Isis
