Outside by Staind. Simple song easy to flow with. Found the tabs on ultimate-guitar.com

Come Together is a good one. Also, Sweet Home Chicago. Its a great example of a blues bassline and how the bass functions in a song.

Just my opinion though....

Tarantula by Pendulum

took like 2 hours until i could even recognize it myself, but that was worth it

Two suggestions:

1) Money by Pink Floyd. Cool bass cover and tabs can be found here:

Money - Pink Floyd - Bass Cover (With Tab) - YouTube

2) Many medium tempo R&B Blues/Swing songs. You'll get basic scales, patterns, and standard 12 bar blues chord progressions.

example: Baby, You've Got What It Takes - Bruce Delaplain - YouTube
E-A-B chord progression
pattern: R-5-flat_7th-octave

You can start with the open E string (figure it out - it's fun)
