I don't know if somebody already said this but, I think Jon Berry from rufio is an amazing bassist. I learned all his riffs when I was first starting out.

Also, Johnny Cash is considered Country, not Rock. He has never been grouped in Rock. Any music store will have his CD's in the Country Section. :lol:

thanks

ALICE IN CHAINS!!

Van Halen are up twice.:thumb:

You spelt Mastodon wrong. Also, you need to put Sikth (bassist James Leach) in the metal category.

Holy Jesus, did you put AFI in the "Metal" section?!

WHAT THE HELL?!?!? Senses Fail r soooooo emo... NOT punk... and Thrice is NOT punk either... Thrice is Hardcore/Rock (borderline metal)

what about Sean Beasley? the bass player for dying fetus, dude does vocals while shredding the bass. granted he does use a pick but so does matt freeman and he's even on your list.

thanks for this

Check out anything with Trevor Dunn!

Didnt spot any of these on your list:
Stanley clarke (Jazz, with a little funk and some hiphop in movie soundtracks)
Dixie Dregs (Jazz/rock)
Protest the Hero (Prog metal/screamo/tech stuff)
John mayer trio (Jazzy blues rock)

Also Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are not a funk band. They are a jazz fusion band, and thus should be listed in jazz.
