Bass playing? Ska has some badass bass playing. Booyah.
But if you want the baddest of the badass playing, though, there's a man named Kinley Wolf (sp), aka "Barney." He was the bassist in a band called Lord Tracy I saw play at the 2005 Dallas guitar show. Lord Tracy was simply a pretty generic band rock/hard rock/metal type band from the late '80s, and only put out one under-publicized studio album (plus a live release). For anyone interested, the front man, Terri Glaze, was an early player in Pantera. But back to the bass thing.
Barney has worked up an absolutely amazing bass solo routine, clocking in roughly around 6-7 minutes. Listening was like hearing a lead guitar player shred. After their concert, picked up a copy of their live CD from 1989, which had an old recording of the bass solo. I strongly suggest anyone interested in hearing this badassery to give me a line (ripped it to my computer, wma format).
