In the sublime, lovely, tender, sensitive category of bass recordings, my fav is by Charlie Haden here:

And in the inventive, superb, virtuoso, from another planet category of bass recordings, my fav is by Scott LaFaro here:

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Esperanza Spalding.

Nobody has mentioned Charnett Moffett either, or Tony Levin, or... Picking a favorite is damn near impossible, but I if had to name one album, I guess this would be it.

Primus - Pork Soda

"Pork Soda" album samples

Looking at the previous posts I can confidently say 98% of you won't like this album.
Even if you hate the music, you have to respect the talent.
Les Claypool is a master of the bass guitar.

Here's the video for "My Name Is Mud". It's pretty awesome.

It was an awesome show, we got to meet them before the show as well. A year later I ran into them at a Denny's at 4am.

Perhaps, but you can count me in the 2%. I'm accustomed to being in the minority.

Thanks for renewing my interest - remember him from Living Colour in the late 80s/90s.

I missed a chance to see Victor Wooten play live in Salt Lake City when I was in college back in 2008. Still regret it.

Hi.

Deep deep subsonic bass is my favourite bass - done thru a good powered subwoofer, of course.

Pipe organ music can go down to 8Hz! No electroncs to mess up its pure acoutical tone.

My favourie SUBSONIC bass recording is a LP (no CD, my friend):-

"Andrew Davis plays the organ at Roy Thomson Hall", a Sept 2007 performance at Toronto, Canada

The low low subsonic bass is so powerful & overwhelming that I was virtually awed for the first time I played that LP - pure clean subsonic bass notes!!!

"Phil Palombi: RE:Person I Knew". Fantastic acoustic bass. Supposedly recorded with the instrument Scott LoFaro played in the Bill Evans Trio at the Village Vanguard. Phil is a great bass player but not very well known. I believe he plays at Smalls in Greenwich Village on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mine are anything by Weather Report with Jaco Pastorius. That said, here's one of Jaco with John Scofield:

I'm a sucker for most pipe organ music. My grandfather owned a theatre organ that was installed in his home. I've never found a recording that is quite the same as having a 32' tibia playing 6" from you.

Five my favorites are Anything with the Riverside organ (16 Hz) played by Virgil Fox, Rick Wakeman, "Merlin the Magician" The Eagles Hotel California "Hell Freezes Over" Supertramp "School" Walter/Wendy Carlos "switched on Bach"

Hello

All good suggestions here but this is the best bass recording and should be owned by anybody thats interested in seeing how well their system can separate bass with focus and beats. This is the best IMO.
