What bassists have done the most memorable basslines in music?

Paul McCartney is up there, John Deacon (absolutely plebian but goddamn if his basslines aren't memorable) and Tina Weymouth if we're talking at around the 80s.

Some of my personal favorites.

Stanley Clarke, man.

Also:
The bassline in Lowrell Simon's 'Mellow Mellow' is lackluster in the original, imo, but man, it defines Massive Attack's 'Lately.'
I can't remember any others offhand, but I've noticed a lot of sampled basslines that are kinda whatever in their original recording, but someone uses it in a remix or whatever and it's totally transformed.
