He's right where he belongs. Although he does deserve honorable mention, along with about 800 other bass players. But it's a top 100, he's just not top 100 material.

He blows away about 85 of the guys on the list. I saw him play with a band called "Tackhead" at a NAMM show long ago...WOW!! Those guys shredded.
It was years before he replaced the guy in Living Colour.

Read the requirements for the list, it's not about who can shred who. He obviously didn't have the repitore or influence the be one of the best in his genre or booboo would have included him. You should make your own list and include him in it.

For the record, octave ranges have nothing to do with being a good singer.

Eh, I knew he would come up, he's not an oversight, I just don't think he's really worthy of the list.

Aside from playing for one of the greatest musicians of all time, Redding isn't a very highly regarded bass player, he had no experience on the instrument when he joined the Experience, rumor has it Hendrix let him joined because he liked his hair.

He did his job and did it well, but because he played for the most over the top guitarist of his generation, he didn't dare to cross paths with him. He wasn't very remarkable, a lot of his lines was generic blues stuff and very low in the mix. His best bassline was Fire, but that was ripped straight off of Bob Babbitt's bassline for The Capitals hit Cool Jerk.

In fact, Hendrix did most of the actual bass playing on Electric Ladyland.

Billy Cox was a much superior bass player, he could play all of Redding's lines and much more.
