Since you didn't give any more details about your preference in taste I can only take a stab in the dark. If your looking for good melodically-challenging rock bass lines, you have to take a trip back in time to the 70's. Granted, there were some great bass players in the 60's, such as Paul McCartney in his group (they were pretty good - *wink*), but the experimentation of the 70's and the crossover of rock and funk produced some pretty cool recordings.
You might start with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull, Cream, even some Black Sabbath. Some folks might disagree with some of the groups mentioned here (of course, music is the ultimate subjective art), that they are more "wimp" rock than hard rock, but just because the singers might be high tenors doesn't necessarily mean they didn't rock.
Use your own best discretion. Go to the library and check out some cd's to get started. Take them home. Listen to them. If you really like it, you can go buy your own copy. If not, you can return it with no money lost.
Luck in your search.

maximum if no longer all rock songs have bass strains and various the splendid bass gamers in the international. you may do no longer overlook that diverse the early 60s rock artists were learning from people like James Jamerson (R.I.P). Take a pay interest to The Who and also you would discover lots of the most technical basslines ever heard. in case you pay interest to Cream then you actually will locate a bassist who Clapton considers the splendid he's performed with. Songs and Albums with brilliant bass artwork: Rush - practically each thing they have executed yet exceptionally YYZ & pushed Cream - Disraeli Gears The Who - the position do you commence? attempt "5:15" off Quadrophenia there are quite some many others.

I recommend to anyone wanting to learn to play bass to buy a copy of the Stone Temple Pilots' first CD 'Core' and learn to play every song.

First and foremost, Sir Paul McCartney is the best bass player alive. You might also check out Geddy Lee (Rush) and John Entwhistle (The Who).
