Bela Fleck and The Flecktones have a few cool tunes Personally I am an huge fan of Andy West, so you could give a listen to some Dregs or Dixie Dregs as well.

 

[Bigfoot92]

A lot of Iron Maiden tunes, The Duellists, Phantom Of The Opera for exemple.

@funkstag: Have you ever listened to them before bashing it for being metal?

Typical by Mute Math has a pretty sweet line and some really really cool fills...

 

[AltGrendel]

Black Dog by Led Zep.

Good luck.

Rush has some iconic, challenging bass lines, like from YYZ or La Villa Strangiato.

Pretty much any later years Beatles McCartney isn't just holding down the rhythm, he's also doing counter melodies on the bass.

As RickBlair said, you can't go wrong with James Jamerson. I'll add in Donald Duck Dunn as well. Ditto Led Zep, Cream, and other blues rock bands of that era.
