Favorite double thumb players?

For me, Victor Wooten has most comprehensively developed the technique and used it in my favourite musical applications. Without music, technique is nothing and sadly, double thumbing is probably up there with tapping as the technique most likely to be used for tuneless nonsense. I'm glad that Victor has always championed the music and the melody before the technique itself.

I also know that Alain Caron is good at it too, but I don't think he has explored the technique as deeply as Victor has.
