You already have System of a Down on there, but you might want to put the name of their actual bassist (Shavo Odadjin) under good bassists, just so he can get a bit of credit.

Good luck fitting them into a genre here though. I guess metal would be the best. |

How about dividing each music genre into things like: Technical Bass, Melodic Bass, Slap/Pop, Speed?, etc...
