Bass Lines!

:-D

Anything by the Doors. Now for the mindfuck: they never once had a bassist. It was all Ray Manzarek on an organ. You couldn't tell the difference between this guy on an organ and John Paul Jones on a bass.
Which reminds me, the vast majority of Zeppelin's catalogue is covered in genius bass lines. See also: Cream. Jack Bruce was a fucking menace.

I thought everyone knew this. Even if they didn't, finding out a keyboard player did the bass parts is hardly a mindfuck. YOU ARE CHEAPENING THE WORD

These

I often get lost in the guitar lines on Chic / Niles Rogers stuff - e.g. big obvious ones like Le Freak and He's The Greatest Dancer - but Good Times certainly has a fantastic bassline.
I had no idea Rod Temperton played bass, but he's written some of my favourite songs, and they all have great basslines - Rock With You, Boogie Nights for Heatwave, and Give Me The Night for George Benson.

Oh yeah, 7 8 post-Stockhausen funk? Yep.
I know Can probably jumped some kind of indie cred wank shark (whoa, no pics of that thanks) ages back, but Holger's restrained grooves just make me wanna wiggle.
It's a different effect, but a similar restraint to what I dig in that D'Angelo record I mentioned upthread.
