For me, Wilton Felder's brilliant part in Jackson Five's, "I Want You Back".. hands down.
What's yours? |

You can hate if you wanna but people that don't even know bassists exist 99% of the time recognize that part.  |

- Paul McCartney's bass break in "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey".
- The "funky" section of Jaco Pastorius' "Come On, Come Over".
- The 7/8 bass riff from Rush's "Tom Sawyer". |

+1 on the Jaco song mentioned above.
A fast bass line that comes to my mind that always blows me away when I hear it is he bass part about 5˝ minutes into the jazz/fusion song "Froth" on Steve Lukather's second solo album (also released as a Los Lobotomy's album). John Pena is playing a 32nd notes pattern (in about 80bpm) on his fretless that suits that part of the song perfectly. By the way, the whole album is worth checking out. Although it's a guitarist's solo record...
