I kinda recall an anecdote where Stanley was using a Gibson EB-something...the guys that were to become Alembic were at this show & told him: You play great but your sound is crap. Try one of these.
I think Stanley even had a short Ric phase.

The Coolest P-Bass Solo?

Jeff Andrews-Live in National Theatre, Brasilia-Nothing Personal . Not sure how to post the youtube link, and yes it is a Precision with a back pickup added, but it is still a Precision, and it is still a phenominal solo.
Of the three listed, gotta go with Byron Miller. That is just some downright nasty funk soloing.
Otherwise, I think somebody already mentioned it, but Robert Wilson of The Gap Band, on Shake:

The tone for the solo at the end is exactly how a p bass should sound, IMO. From youtube videos it looks like he plays everything with just his thumb (old school double thumb style).

Andrews is awesome. That said & for the argument of this Thread-
If it still has the P-pickup with the added Jazz bridge pickup...that would be a PJ bass...and no, it's not still a P-bass! FME.
I forget: Does Andrews' bass mod have a P-neck or a Jazz neck?
Not really a solo, I guess, but John Wetton blasting through Lark's Tongue in Aspic while in King Crimson. That sound really got me interested in picking up the bass.
Willie, not just because it's the coolest solo, but because of the context in which it's played. The entire album is special.
