Here is a list.

25. Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
18. Michael Anthony (Van Halen)
5. Dusty Hill (ZZ Top
1. Carol Kaye
And the winning spot here goes to a bassist who worked on approximately 10000 sessions (yes, that much). And it's unfortunate to know that most rock fans don't even know about her! To put it simply, Carol Kaye is one mean bass player.
There is also James Dewar who played bass and did lead vocals with Robin Trower.
I was thinking there is probably several session bassist who never get recognized outside of the music industry.
Another list that included Donald "Duck" Dunn and Carol Kaye.
