Robert DeLeo (the white Jamerson, and a better songwriter to boot)
edit: Mike Starr/Mike Inez (both AIC dudes rip, and are the main reason I love Spectors so much)
.... are the main "famous" guys I rip from. I have people in pop/rock that I have been stealing from more here lately:
Jeremy Davis (Paramore-righteous tone and fun bass lines, gets to stare at Hayley Williams daily)
Tobin Esperance (Papa Roach- dude has some fkn gnarly tone, especially live)
Joe Loughler/Dean Bernardini (Chevelle-tone for days, awesome unison guitar-line playing)
The claypool wannabe's are FRUSTRATING as fuck to try to do anything with
It's like "DUDE! Just hold the bottom down. We already have 2 guitar players! That shit doesnt work with what we're doing!!"
lol.
About the same thing as dealing with a Vinne Paul / Dave Lombardo wannebe drummer who has to over complicate everything. lol.
