Great bass players that use picks.

I was bored and rather than do anything constructive I compiled all the players named in this thread into a master list. I didn't pass judgement on anyone other than to google *name* + bassist for players I hadn't heard of. Only a couple failed that test and I left them out. Not every bass player on this list uses a pick exclusively. Some may not even use a pick primarily but I'm assuming for the sake of argument that every one is a GOOD pick player. All the names I recognized certainly are.

I also added Mark Ranson, Sonny Landreth's longtime bassist. Great player.
