Anyone know names or have tabs to any songs that can be played just on a bass? with no other instruments involved besides drums or singing or something?

"The Fish" by Chris Squire of Yes on the album Fragile.
That one recently was printed on Bass Guitar Magazine ( a mag I don't like too much, but I do buy it occasionally, I prefer Bass Player...that's just me). Multi-bass overdubbed, dont know if that's what you are looking for.
And, Victor Wooten's first solo album (A Show of Hands ) is mostly bass and singing...allegedly with no multi-tracking of any kind...dont know if there are TABs though.
Jaco's "Continuum" sounds pretty good as a solo bass piece, and "Portrait of Tracy" is solo bass, from his self-title debut.
And...

"Donna Lee" too then, Jaco pulled that off with just bass and bongos/congas (can't recall which).

First song I thought of when I saw the thread

Theres things like Level 42's Dune Tune, you can solo that without the synth. The rest of it is just percussion and voices

+1 for "Portrait Of Tracy". Great solo tune. Also, "More Love" from Victor Wooten's first solo album "A Show Of Hands". The whole CD is great (a must for any serious bass player IMO), but this tune is to me one of the coolest and most beautiful compositions for the bass guitar. There's a Victor Wooten book (which I've never seen) and maybe "More Love" is there (this one is played on a tenor bass tuned ADGBb low to high).

And last but definitely not least, check Stuart Hamm's solo records. He has plenty of great solo bass pieces.

Just play the bass parts to N.I.B. by themselves. They sound great.
