Metal Bass Players

#2
The usual;

Alex Webster, Steve Cloutier, Eric Langlois, Steve DiGiorgio, Tony Choy are "greats"

None of these guys are slouches:
Byron Stroud, Jon Vesano, Troy Sanders, IC Vortex (his work with Borknagar. Demon Burger...meh), Tyr, Stefan Fimmers, Jeff Walker, Cameron Grant, Adrian Lambert (despite the fact that he's in a power metal band),

Miguel and Xavier from Ion Dissonance. Holy crap; gotta be doing something right to get that gig. Same goes for the bassists that have been in Between The Buried and Me.

I left Cliff Burton of the list on purpose.

And y'know, there are others, these are just off the top of my head; I'm sure I forgot some real prominent ones.

edit- like Mike MacIvor.

I belive his name is Ryan Martinie.

I'd also argue that neither band is really metal. Tool is progressive hard rock and Mudvayne is, well, Mudvayne....:)

I also committed a grave sin earlier: I omitted both Geezer Butler and Steve Harris form my list. All of us supposed metal head should hang out heads in shame for not listing these guys already :)

Mudvayne is Progressive Hardcore/NuMetal. Still metal. :P

i'll add Olli-Pekka Laine from amorphis. I think he's pretty awesome.

also the guy from Symphony-X i dunno his name and he might already have been mentioned. lol
