Though that's synth bass. Mr. Jackson is playing some bendy, bluesy stuff up around the 12th fret, actually, while that chromatic synth line is usually what "bass players" play.
I knew a guy who could play a very convincing Barney Miller on the tuba. And Chameloen, too.
Love that Leon Russell stuff, too....but I don't think I'd recognize any of those tunes by "bass line" alone, regardless of what instrument supplied the low end.

Are you talking about the bass line of the song itself, or the solo? Because the actual bass line is a bunch of pedal tones.
Since everyone seems to be just naming random songs that they happen to like, as opposed to picking stuff that people outside of our little clubhouse here would recognize:
Jean Luc Ponty: In Spite Of All (featuring future American Idol judge Randy Jackson on bass)
Kiss: Torpedo Girl (that's Ace playing the bass)
And for synth bass, it's hard to beat this dance floor classic:

OK now, if we're going into funk the correct answer is Skintight by the Ohio Players. Or actually, maybe Brick House. The rest tend to be funky guitar riffs...
