Funky/fusion jazz with heavy base emphasis....

Medeski Martin & Wood - any titles (very groove oriented)

Johansson Johansson and Holdsworth - Heavy Machinery (no bass but has HEAVY synth bass grooves)

Gong: Expresso II

Wayne Peet's Doppler Funk: Blasto! (nine winds label)

Hebie Hancock: Thrust

Kazumi Watanabi: the one with Bruford and Jeff Berlin...think its called "spice of life"

John Fumo: After the Fact (has fair amount of horns but it still grooves)

Doctor Nerve: Armed Observation/Out to Bomb Fresh Kings (2 on 1 cd)

Praxis: Transmutation

Dedalus: Dedalus (vynyl magic label)

Miles Davis: Decoy

Brian Bromberg is your man...trust me on this.
Album titles include "Jaco", "Wood" and "You know that feeling".

Hammond, you couldn't be more right on about Brian Bromberg!!!

Grade Boy All Stars are prettty groovy, but do have some horns.

Billy Cobham: Spectrum, has some funky tunes

Zao: Shekina, actually a prog lp but some of the funkier tunes blow me away, beautiful record

To continue thought of Benthar on Bill Laswell works I'd add

Material "Halucination Engine" and
"Mastermind"

Ambitious Lovers "Greed" with avant-funco guitarist Arto Lindsay.
