I don't like him personally or stylistically so that doesn't help. But I think he's sloppy yes; and find his playing method not creative at all. Scales are good for exercise and maybe jam sessions. But in a song, even in metal, it needs soul. I just find him as a atrocious bassist for tons of personal preferential reasons.
My favorite bassists are in post-hardcore, alternative rock, jazz and soul/funk bands. Outside of jazz, it doesn't overdo structure. But all cases are creative, simple (except jazz) and soulful to some extent. Oh yeah, also innovative in a good way.

I know I probably shouldn't contribute to this thread for the reasons Gow stated, but can I nominate Drama313? He was far worse than crack ever was.

Gowienczyk is no longer on my nomination list. He isn't as stupid as SNL-hating teacher or Julio's sister.
Remember zeppelin1969!
I like minimalism over technicality, yes.
Let me grab a few names from my bassist I bow to list, uh....
Ben Steidel (Funeral Diner) - Post-Hardcore Bassist that implements soulful strums and palm muting.
David William Sims (The Jesus Lizard) - Crunchy, innovative bass tone and innovations that went on to be used in bands like Shellac and Unwound.
Kim Deal (Pixies) - I think it's obvious why anyone likes Deal; shes minimal, catchy and in between the perfect amount of soul and creativity.
