Another point is that some of the most memorable bass lines have been quite simple e.g. as on Fleerwood Mac's 'The Chain', Pink Floyd's 'Money', 'Peaches' by The Stranglers and Chic's 'Good Times'.

Chris Mood here's put his finger on it. Most bass solo albums I've listended to have been pretty dull although I do really like Stu Hamm's 'Country music'. Unlike the guitar, which for me is often better heard as a solo instrument, the bass is best heard interplaying with other instruments. Just check out the interplay between Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson on Chic's stuff and Mark King and Boon Gould on some of the earlier Level 42 material like 'Love Games'.
