What are some famous bassists who use picks?

Too many to list.
I would figure, if somebody sat down and tallied it all up, that roughly 50% of all popular music, give or take, recorded with the electric bass guitar was done with it played pickstyle.

The bass player from Killswitch Engage and man his freakin sound live with his Mesa rig is one of the best Iv'e heard.

Mike Gordon of Phish. i find him extremely suprising since he has a warm curious tone and plays in a very very easygoing kinda band.

Geddy Lee has never used a pick that I'm aware of, but he sure gets a pick like tone from his fingers.
