Oh, living? That would be Sheehan for me, at least as a rock bassist.

Even if you are not into metal check out some Helloween songs, you'll appreciate the bassplaying.
Very skilled, very technical, very powerful... yet tasteful (and often down right insane). |

I seriously doubt anyone will ever equal their collective accomplishments and they are still contributing in every style of music.
