Some of my favs there as well, including both Abe and Norm.
Both are amazing bass players.
I have been in instructional sessions with Norm a couple of times over the past few years. I talked to him about his signature MTD bass when I was looking for my fretless. He is going to be at our Breakforth Conference this coming January, where I'm looking forward to attending another of his intensive, all day bass workshops. I am pumped about that!
A couple of years ago I watched him trade licks, note for note, with a well known metal guitard (but, not being into metal, I can't remember his name ) and Carl Albrecht (an amazing drummer). I don't think there was anything that the guitard threw at him that he didn't respond in kind. It was amazing to watch the guitard's face as the evening wore on.
I have Norm's multiple DVD, bass lessons tutorial series. They would be fine reference material for a bassist looking for advanced material, but they are not the same, measured instructional material that Roy has produced in TMBG.
