Depends on if you mean a GOOD guitar solo or just someone stoned and retarded playing random junk and calling it a guitar solo haha.

I'd put money on Jimi Hendrix.

I'd say something MAYBE from James Brown. I really have no idea though, I don't listen to him. Just a stab in the dark lol. then like ashly said, Hendrix. Iron Maiden aren't known for long bass solos lol.

Uh...JB wasn't exactly a guitarist there sport haha

EDIT: And my Hendrix was referring to guitar solo, not bass solo, as he asked about both in the original post. I really havent' the slightest clue on bass solo.

How in the bloody Hell did I completely forget Santana exists? *lol* Wow. I'm embarassed.

I know Eddie Van Halen has busted out some ridiculous long guitar solos...however, I don't know if we're counting LIVE solos, actually on-album solos, actually GOOD solos, or random kids just playing guitar for a while by themselves and considering it a solo?

well im thinking a solo in a song (with lyrics, no instrumentals) and not live, cause someone could screw up and just go on and on and consider it an improvision. and professional musicians, not unsigned kids :P
