My favorite bass playing on any album is from Opeth's "Damnation".  I don't really know, but I think the parts are really easy, but I do know that they really add a lot to the sound of the band in that album.

Chris Squire's solo album "Fish Out Of Water" has some stunning bass on it.

i play bass. listen to as much records with Richard Sinclair or Tony Reeves on as possible. having said that, i spent all my time just learning wierd stuff, and i kinda regret not picking up the basics. oh well, ive got the rest of my life.
 
just remember, use all 4 fingers on your left hand and learn all 7 main modes. very important for playing bass.

Maybe I expressed myself wrongly. I'm not talking about tabs or learning, just 3-4 albums where the bass really grasp your emotions.

Chris Squire is one of the best bassist on earth so any Yes album would be fine especially Fragile.

If you want to hear cool base that may actually be learnable go with a Tool album if you want somthing that just blows your mind go with Something by Primus (prog related)

This is not a poll. I am learning the bass guitar and I was just wondering what are your favorite bass albums?
