OK it's six but I saw Hughes with Trapeze and Deep Purple. And one magic night in Abilene Texas he played note for note with Tommy Bolin so I give him Honable mention.

Add John McVie, Rick Grech and Jack Bruce (Bluesbreakers + Fleetwood Mac, Blind Faith and Cream, respectively).  If you're looking for guys talented with string instruments, IMO it's always a good idea to start with the Bluesbreakers.
Props to Steve Chamb for the call on Jah Wobble.  He had an amazing run back there in his day.  I haven't cued up one of his records in forever, but that changes today!
