Off the top of me head: Jah Wobble, Norman Watt-Roy, Rockette Morton, Tony Sales, Brian Gibson. No Herbie Flowers even, FFS

The best of all the Motown bass lines, and possibly the greatest ever in any genre was Wilton.

Jameson was indeed fantastic, but a lot of the bass parts were actually played by Wilton Felder, not Jameson.
Jameson had a severe drink problem and frequently either didn't turn up for a session or was incapable.

Not really true for a long time. His drinking didn't affect him all that much during the sixties. And he played on the single What's Going On in 1971. Bob Babbit played a lot of 'em later on, along with Wilton. And please spell his name right - he drank whiskey, but he wasn't actually named after it!
