He is a great influence for me, even though I neglected to think of him when I posted my faves.

Let's try this again. That female bass player on the Beach Boys records would be Carol Kaye, although Brian Wilson played some too. Two that haven't been mentioned that get my motor running would be James Jamerson who played on tons of Motown stuff and Bootsy Collins. My faves play in a lot of styles but they all serve the song.
