"The guy from Queensryche". I love it. Didn't even bother to google it before starting the thread 
.
I'd have to think about it... but I'm pretty sure the question is too vague for me to answer.
Edit:
I'll say this:
1) J Bass
2) P Bass
3) Stingray/Sterling

My personal favorites of course.

Just killing time dude, lighten up. Googling crap like that on my phone sucks. It's not vague, it's just a more positive twist to the recent thread in which people berated various bassist's tone one a recording.
Good to see you're so dedicated to your thread, The guy who started this thread.

Was Roll The Bones on a 5 string Wal? If it was or wasn't, still a good choice.
Ged on anything, really. My number one for tone.
Marcus Miller, especially with SMV. My favorite slap tone.
I don't have a 3rd.

Thank you! That sounded a little wacky to me too. I was starting to think this was like Scientology or something
Top 3? By what criteria? There are a lot of gifted bassists out there. Why do you want to exclude all but three?
I think he means 'top 3 in your opinion'.
Far too subjective a subject for any other interpretation (in my opinion).
I'll play:
My favorites (the order really depends on my mood at the time)
1)Geddy on Limelight
2)Tony Levin on absolutely anything he played on
3)Tom Petersson on Gonna Raise Hell
How's that for variety?

1. Cliff Burton (any from Master of Puppets)
2. Les Claypool ( his fretless skill and most anything N.I.B)
3. Al Cisneros (ANYTIME!)

Tony Levin on "So"
Geddy Lee on "Counterparts"
That dude on the Queensryche album with the song that goes like "duh duh de duh da daa"
(Bonus points if you can name that tune.)

I'm going to get flamed for this, But Gene Simmons on Creatures of the Night is still my favorite tone: Invalid Link Removed
2. Macca on Abbey Road
3. Cliff Burton (When you can hear him ) on Master of Puppets

Mike Dirnt-Anything off 'smoothed out slappy hours', 'dookie' or 'nimrod'
Krist Novoselic-Anything off 'From the muddy banks of the Wiskah'
Mark Hoppus- Anything off 'Dude Ranch'
Maybe not the best 3 (especially the 3rd) but those are all I can think of at the moment.
