Most bass players will tell you that the late great Motown bassist, James Jamerson, was the man, and that his part on Stevie Wonder's I Was Made To Love Her was his best work. It's clearest on this remix after about 1m, but YouTube is full of players trying to emulate it.

James Jamerson was an absolute legend. Real shame he finished his life and career at the bottom. If you're into Motown can I suggest giving Standing In The Shadows of Motown a watch? Documentary about the legendary in-house band, The Funk Brothers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO9_CjUgThI

Can I just point out that the bassline from 'Liquidator' by Harry J & the All-Stars, and 'I'll Take You There' by The Staple Singers are the same?

Oh, I just have.

You will have to travel a long way to see a better Base player than Jean Jacques Burnel. A Master of his trade.
