Red hot chili peppers - Naked in the rain.
Rancid - Maxwell Murder
Michael Schenker Group - Into the arena (live) (shredding bass solo!!!)

The first two I ever learned as a younger lad:

Powerslave - Iron Maiden (Steve Harris)

Pretty rippin solos in both IMO. Up the Irons!

There's a bass solo in Powerslave?

It's already been mentioned, but Orion is probably my favourite bass solo.

There's a cool (but very short) solo in 'Take No Prisoners' by Megadeth.

Of course there's 'YYZ' by Rush.

On the death metal side of things, there is 'Images' by Sadus, and 'The Philosopher' by Death. Steve DiGiorgio plays fretless for both. Very fast and technical stuff.

Finally, there's a really good solo in the song 'Sea of Lies' by Symphony X. There's a cool bass intro as well.
