Thank god nobody has mentioned Roger Waters to this point.

The key to Victor Wooten for folks who don't like Jazz is a song called "The Lonliest Monk". Low key virtuoso bowed bass performance with some interesting slap/slide effect, but incredibly amusing.
I don't think anyone would argue that Roger Waters was anything but a solid bassist. His genius, such as it is, is in turning his neuroses into universal teenage truth in his lyrics, and then surrounding himself with the right people to make the songs work well.
