Check out some Marcus Miller grooves. Power has a great feel to it. All of his stuff is worthy of checking out. If you are into rock music check out Primus, some of Les' stuff is very difficult. Happy hunting!

Stevie Wonder songs have great lines, very tricky.
The Lemon Song by Zep.
ANYTHING Jaco.
Marcus Miller, seconded...
Jamiroquai too. Funky and challenging.

Try anything Victor Wooten has played. When you get through that, try transcribing sax solos ala "Donna Lee" like Jaco did. John Coltrane solos are pretty wicked too. Don't forget cello music as well. If you can pull these off you will really be at the top. Check out Jeff Berlin, John Patitucci and Michael Manring as well.

Yeah! I second "Chromatic Fantasy" There a couple of cool books of Bach lines transcribed for bass. They are great for solo playing. Pretty impressive stuff. I'm still working on a couple myself.

True that. I think only Jaco went saying that. Back then there were few virtuosos on bass. Even he said he had to keep practicing. Keep listening, there's plenty of challenging music out there. Then try to write your own music. That's much harder than copying.

Try playing something simplistic with space and discipline! It can be a challenge.

Rush- "Hemispheres" Since you've graduated from the class of Flea, You may want to try the stuff Geddy Lee pumps out while singing.

I agree.

I really like to put on Gettin in Tune from Who's Next, and playing along. It's simple, yet melodically great, and a lot of fun to see how it goes with the rest of the song.

I only ever had one band I was in that would play it though.

Higher Ground, or I Wish by Stevie Wonder, try and be honest with yourself and don't slow or speed up with your drummer. Personally, I'm never satisfied and try to do what ever I'm playing better the next time.
