Matt Sharp on Pinkerton - perfect J-bass zing combined with a beautifully natural / non-cheesy sounding bass distortion
Peter Cetera on Chicago I and II - textbook Precision/flatwound/picked "boom"
Christian McBride on Diana Krall's "Love Scenes" album - DYNOMITE! You can hear his fingerprints.

Those are the sounds I try to emmulate because they are the ones I like the best. | John Wetton sounded massive on Red....+1 for that.
I also enjoyed Bob Daisley's p bass sound.
