What about John Entwhistle of The Who? That guy could probably lay out everybody on this list...including Claypool. Entwhistle played the melody for all the Who songs. Claypool clearly uses this style in the songs I have heard by him (only two). It seems to me all bassists owe a debt to Entwhistle.
I've never listened to the Who and gotten blown away by the bass playing. EVER. I like the Who, but when I think of good bass playing, the Who is miles away.
