Hmm, I was thinking Tool too, but that DaDump DaDUMp at the beginning of Sober was what sprang to mind for me. Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way, or pretty much anything where Flea just goes Berserk. Primus - The Antipop. Some of Yes has some good Bass work, Siberian Khatru, frinstance, but you'r looking for more sustained.
Aha! 7 Nation Army! That's the song you want. (By the White Stripes or the Strokes or one of those semi-androgynous punk wannabes that, to their credit, occasionally put out some excellent music.)
Other things you might want to try:
Parliament/Funkadelic Live (Earth Tour)
About half of Cake's songs have great funk Bass grooves that you really don't notice because everyone's busy trying to figure out what to make of the music overall. Talking Heads are like that to a lesser degree.
Pink Floyd. An ego like Roger Waters attached tio a Bass? You're going to hear it. Same deal with Rush, but less ego and more instrumental talent.
