Check out Richard Bona, from Cameroon now in New York.
He is an African Jaco and sings well too.
He played in the Zawinul Syndicate for a few years. Joe Z said Richard was the BEST bass player he had ever worked with. Quite a compliment considering Joe played with Jaco, Miroslav, and many other great ones.
Any one interested should look at Youtube clips
This guy is THE SH#T.

I just gotta say that Bernie Worrell playing keyboard synthesizer bass for PFunk on "Flashlight" was a musically defining moment for me in the mid-70s.
Other than that, Phil Lesh playing low-end guitar does it for me. In spades.

Percy Jones from Brand X could lay it down, fo sho.
I gotta say it, one of my very favs: Phil Lesh
Oh man, unreal stuff he's done. Sorry if you're not a fan.
And yeah, Sir Paul. OMG.
Also, did somebody forget: Jack Casady
Currently, I'm studying the licks Jack Bruce places on Sittin' On Top of the World. Now that's some fun shizzle I can actually play!
As for Jaco, Wooten, and the other who perform polytechnics with four-six strings, she-it.

Great walking bass work on this one on what many consider the finest modern combo going. Petrucciani and Gadd were monster talents, obviously.

Oh shucks, I knew I was forgetting something there.
One of my very favorite rock bass players: Berry Oakley
His career was simply: Way Too Short.

Funny thing most don't know about Cliff Burton is that he was a classical-guitarist by training at his mom's behest.
And then he picked up a bass and eventually met Metallica.
His passing was sooooo unfortunate. Tour-Bus accident. He was the only one who died.
We always lose the best. God wants them for his band....
