Sklar...quite possibly as well. Stubenhaus...a lot of high profile sessions but I doubt near the sheer studio volume of Osborn, Jamerson, or Sklar. Scanning my Serius/XM radio stations...particularly the popular 60's and 70's stations, it seems like every other song is Osborn in particular or Jamerson. Throw in "Soul Town" (Soul Street) where you get tons more of Jamerson and those two guys in particular dominate those channels.

As for "in demand"...Perhaps you failed to grasp my response in the spirit it was intended...since it's true that Jamerson would probably fail to show for a session contracted today LOL. Even back in his day in Detroit...Jamerson may have been "in demand", but Motown had him under exclusive contract ( at least he could always find the studio) so the only outside work he could take was usually undercover. After arriving in Los Angeles and garnering a reputation for unreliability...some producers would book Jamerson hoping to catch that Jamerson magic in a bottle...but also paying a guy like David Hungate (who didn't work cheap) to stand by just in case James failed to show (It's well documented by Hungate himself). That's pretty much what I'd call in demand.

Stubenhaus: over 600 records, 150 movie soundtracks and countless jingles and commercials.
And that's not.including being the number.o.e.call for.every major live television broadcast to come out of LA (and NYC at times).
I'd say he's.pretty sought after.....
