Paul McCartney. He also played lead guitar better than George Harrison.

I think the guy from Lightning Bolt plays a bass that way

this is a solo album by juan from the mars volta

lots of guitar on there too, but still pretty unique. like lightning bolt mixed with dub and funk. really cool use of effects too

also here's a live video I just stumbled across, feat. omar:

pretty interesting

Peter Hook's playing is nothing like a guitarist's. In fact he mostly played really simple stuff with a few easy chords sprinkled in.
