I don't know if you'd call it a "solo" but the bass guitar on Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days" {first track on the Meddle album} is pretty awe inspiring.
Every time I hear about Meddle (1971) I always think about Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds (1972) as album (and vice versa)...

Obscured by Clouds [and the following When You're In (they have two different titles, but I've always considered them just as a single piece)] as track(s) and its guitar opening solo also are truly inspiring to me.

David Gilmour is such a great player and Obscured by Clouds is a nice album often, overlooked.

He's done some great work with artists as diverse as Jools Holland, Paul McCartney (Run Devil Run), Pete Townshend (Deep End), Kate Bush and Sam Brown. Always tasteful, bluesy and spacey, His solo on Deep End's "After the Fire" is a highlight of the album.

Most of the great musicians I can think of are/were modest: Hendrix, Jeff Beck, George Harrison, Rick Danko (I don't play bass, I just fill in the gaps), etc. There are exceptions of course: the late Ginger Baker, who put down almost everybody, springs to mind.
