Can't go wrong with any of Primus's stuff.  I'm sure it's easy.

IIRC Walk on the Wild Side was recorded using an old-fashioned stand up bass, ergo a fretless bass. Makes the sliding bass on that song more plusgood compared to if it were played on a bass with frets.

If played well on the fretless bass, yes.  Has the potential to sound godawful though if the player doesn't know where their stops are.

Same thing applies as RHCP. Les Claypool plays slap hard. My hands bled the first time I tried to play My Name is Mudd.

Actually, on second thought, Southbound Pachyderm isn't all that rough.

The bass player of Black Sabbath was insane.

Paranoid is an awesome song and the tab would be ridicously easy if not for the mere speed of it. OMG my fingers

Use a pick, you doof.

A lot of the really fast stuff is done with a pick (notable exception for Les Claypool, who must have hands of steel).

I think I might buy a pedal steel or a dobro.

But I would feel like a weakling using a pick But it may come down to it

I do really like Audioslave's Like a Stone though. It is good music and the bass is very easy to play.

Big Bottom by Spinal Tap has the best bass line ever.

Or Steve Harris, but basically that's true.

Also Tamas must learn to play this:
