I don't know what you all know about jazz music, but any jazz fan will tell you that Jaco Pastorius is one of the best musicians of all time.  And he's a bassist.  I suggest that any bass-enthusiasts out there check this guy's stuff out.

And what about Yo-Yo Ma?  Probably the most famous classical musician of this generation.

The only bassists who I would say are most famous for being bassists in rock are:
Geddy Lee
John Entwhistle
John Paul Jones
Flea

The rest, like Gene Simmons, Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, and Sting are known for their image, singing, and or songwriting.
