Ok, so are there any real metal or anything bass solo's, licks whatever? i mean like someting kinda similar to say... what Motley Crew would have played on guitar...
Something with some melody... because I dont have a guitarist to play with....
Or are most bass solo's wooten style jazz/slap or deep thumping? |

Rush - YYZ
Who - My Generation
Metallica - Anathesia
maybe Billy Sheehan if you dig that stuff. |

There are some cool bass breaks on Death Angel's Ultra-Violence, but I don't think there are any solos per se.
Ooh, check out Ruins if you can find any - bass and drums only, technically not metal, more like prog/hardcore? The latest album, Tzomborgha, is perhaps the most metal, though in actually it escapes classification. |

| | | | Check out the bassist on Bad Brains' live album, The Youth are Getting Restless. On the last track, iirc, the guy really rips. (Bad Brains was a seminal 80's hardcore band composed of four black guys who could really play their instruments, unlike many hardcore bands then. The also included reggae tunes and Rasta lyrics on their albums.) |

You could try Geezer Butler's intro to N.I.B.[original sabbath version](try to get your hands on the live verison off of Black Sabbath's reunion concert album)
It's really cool sounding

Fretless+Deathmetal = cool 
The same bassist, Steve DiGiorgio, also plays on a CD called "Visions From the Spiral Generator" by Vintersorg. I would call it more heavy progressive rock than metal, but Steve has some great licks on this record as well (including a really catchy bassline that is nothing but harmonics and sldies).

Buy Death's 'Human', and 'Individual Thought Patterns' albums. Also, even though Steve doesn't play on the record, their is some really cool bass parts on their 'Symbolic' album, their best one, IMO.
Also, 'Orion' by Metallica (the solo at 6:35 that sounds like guitar), and 'Phantom of the Opera' by Iron Maiden. Both amazing, and very melodic. Enjoy.
