I love Richard Hell & The Voidoids! Blank Generation & Destiny Street are pretty great!
And if you want something tough, I recommend Tomorrow’s Girls by the UK Subs. It's not super-complicated or super-fast, but it just does not let up. My hands are always burning when I get through this one.

Wait, you have a Wattplower for your avatar but didn't mention Minutemen? Heresy!
I used to be really into the absurd musicianship of Canadian punkers/post-punkers NOMEANSNO.
Their first few albums, Sex Mad, Day Everything Became Nothing, and Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed all have some pretty great basslines. Likewise the drummer is kicking ass all the way through. (what is it about Canada and mercilessly good drummers?)

You don’t run into many people who seek out Germs. Even when Darby was alive they were underground even by punk standards. So I am awarding you 15 cool points of no intrinsic value, enjoy!
Descendents as a whole had fun bass lines. The Clash for the most part had great bass lines. Redd Kross. Black Flag depends on the lineup. Minor Threat. Bad Brains. Boy you’re making me feel old.
Lorna Doom learned bass to be in Germs. Total DIY. She was cool.
Since this is TB and pics or it didn’t happen, Darby and Lorna occupy a space in my heart and on my wall.

The Descendants album ‘Milo Goes to college’ is a pretty great album, with a lot of interesting song writing and bass content
most of the Dead Kennedy’s discography is awesome, with solid bass playing
