I love Paul McCartney's simple and melodic bass lines, like on the song "Something". Also the bass singer in the a cappella group Take 6 particularly on their first album lays down amazing lines, particularly on the song "Gold Mine". Hank Levy big band charts have excellent bass parts.

I've always been a fan of Cliff Burton's work. Fade to Black and (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth in particular. Just about any Metallica song prior on the first 3 albums. All the instrumentals have nice bass work.

Someone mentioned Primus. I'd love to hear Primus on a tuba, some big 6/4 BBb monster.
