You've not specified your music taste so here are some personal classics: 

Bob Marley & the Wailers - Babylon by bus
Peter Gabriel - So (Tony Levin)
Suzanne Vega - 9 objects of desire (Pete from Elvic Costello's band)
Jamiroquai - Travelling without moving
Jill Scott - words and sounds vol 1 (long walk especially)
Warpaint - Warpaint

Jazz
Avishai Cohen - Continuo

These are excellent shouts.

Geddy Lee of Rush...so many basslines to choose from.

My fave bass player is Geddy Lee. I've been listening to Rush a lot more again over the past year, and there is loads of fab bass playing. Rush always get the bass suitably high in the mix.

Also Love Billy Sheehan, he is all over the place in one band or another over the years.

Different style, but I love the Jamiroquai stuff, particularly the early albums with Stuart Zender

The bass player that is inspiring me most at the moment is Henrik Linder of Dirty Loops, very funky but also insane technical chops:

Most music includes bass, ear buds tend not to replay bass accurately, so listen using your hi-fi.

There’s a funk playlist on Spotify.

Get stuck into that.

My favourite Bass line is during the sax solo of Duran Duran’s Rio

Andy Fraser from Free
John Entwhistle from The Who
Jack Bruce
Geezer Butler
All fine examples of bass being used almost like another lead instrument

I really like Raphael Saadiq's bass playing on the Solenge album (A seat at the table). 

Meshell Ndegeocello is fantastic, check out Plantation Lullabies or Peace Beyond Passion. 

Massive fan of Joanna Bolme who played with Stephen Malkmus. Always simple, always plays the right thing. Eric A from Jane's Addiction for the same reasons. 

Doug Wimbish from Tackhead has done some interesting pushing the envelope things, but also a really solid player.

You could do worse than listen to Thriller front to back - some cracking bass lines on that.

I'm particularly partial to rock/prog, but generally like to hear instruments played well so genre isn't that important.
