The solo Scott Ambush (Spyro Gyra) played at the North Sea Jazz Festival back in the early 90's! The tune is "Nothing To Lose"! The solo was a 2 parter! He busted out a 3 minute fingerstyle solo, then goes into a monster slap solo! The entire solo is about 7 minutes!

i would love to hear that one...

[Snarf]

Ric Fireabracci - The Rain Must Fall - Yanni - Live At The Acropolis

He's not really my favorite bass player. I would have named a jazz guy, but couldn't quite pick one solo as a favorite, simply because there are so many in that style by every single player that each solo loses its uniqueness. But Ric kind of exposed me to bass solos through that one, and it's the only bass solo I've ever heard in a Yanni context, which I love. So it really stands out in the genre, and it's executed so well.

I'm not sure about all time favorite, but one I've been stuck on lately is the Louis Johnson solo(s) on the George Duke live in Tokyo 1983. It's way 80's, but that's some gooood bass.

[Barkless Dog]

Real Me- John Entwistle
School days - Stanley Clarke
Apostrophe - Jack Bruce

[Otso]

Ralphe Armstrong's solo on Jean-Luc Pontys "Egocentric Molecules".

[FloydianAnimal]

In terms of a punk player, I always liked "Maxwell Murder" by Matt Freeman

"Anesthesia (Pulling teeth)" by Cliff Burton is pretty sick

"Tommy the Cat" by Les Claypool has some good licks in there...

+1 by the way, that cut is on the "Cosmic Messenger" album.

[Amaru]

"Everything is Everything" - Willie Weeks on Donny Hathaway's Live

"En Orbita" - Sal Cuevas on Fania All-Stars Rythmn Machine

[Aram Bedrosian]

"Annon" by Michael Mannring

[son_of_mogh]

Jimmy Johnson on "Panic Station" by Allan Holdsworth

Jon Camp on "Ashes Are Burning" (live) by Renaissance

[Baryonyx]

Jeez, it's a tough choice.

But today it's probably...

Glad To Be Back From Paris or Rosa by Jonas Hellborg, from the "Elegant Punk" album. Simply, both beautifully arranged and performed pieces, so elegant and graceful sounding, and with such stunning and moving melodies.

naked in the rain - blood, sugar, sex magic - flea. awesome solo
or maybe stone cold bush - mother milk - flea.
two awesome solos there.

[Jeramaya]

I've always been struck by the beauty of Jimmy Garrison's opening solo on the third track ("Love") off of Coltrane's "Meditations" album. Simplicity in solos always gets me. Plus, I just love putting my head right up by the speaker and just feeling it.

[Tslicebass]

Probably gonna get guff from the jaco haters but i think his solo on Havona is the peak of the iceberg.
Close second... Gary willis on The Big Wave. I tried to learn it and....well lets just say that will have to happen another time
