Masochist 10.23.16	I made a list of my bass heroes: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=248968&listid=162731 There's the old guard--Jaco Pastorious and Victor Wooten--and some newer stuff. I really enjoy Thundercat (who plays with Flying Lotus a lot, and has solo work), and I love Matt Williams from He Is Legend.

Storm In A Teacup 10.23.16	bloc was right the Level 42 debut album World Machine is lit
Couteau 10.24.16	My 2 favorites players are Justin Chancellor (Tool) and Les Claypool (Primus) but these haven't curiously been mentionned yet : Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam) Tim Commerford (Rage Against The Machine) Juan Alderete (The Mars Volta) Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree)
bloc 10.25.16	"bloc was right the Level 42 debut album World Machine is lit" Haha dude thanks for listening, but their 1981 self titled album is their debut. The database in Sputnik is incomplete
sempiturtle 10.25.16	As silly as they are these days Muse's bassist is a genius when it comes to getting the perfect tone. His riffs are pretty sweet too.
7ColoredFish 10.26.16	dam, thanks for all those quality recommendations everyone
Trebor. 10.26.16	where are all the punk bass players damn off minor for sure
Sinternet 10.26.16	who the fuck cares about bass players
Egarran 10.26.16	When I played bass I thought 'nobody cares what I do as long as I keep time'. And I was happy until people started getting ideas about bass players being creative and adding to the music. Goddammit we have guitars and vocals for that.
smaugman 10.26.16	yea who cares about bass?? useless instrument tbh
DinosaurJones 10.26.16	Damn, I hope Sin and smaug are being facetious... but somehow I don't think so.
smaugman 10.26.16	yea, geddy lee, chris squire, steve harris and all bassists can't play ))))
Masochist 10.26.16	"where are all the punk bass players damn" YES. Tony Lombardo (of Descendents) is such a badass bassist. Jay Bentley (Bad Religion) and Fat Mike (NOFX) are so influential in my own life as a bass player. And I don't care what your preferred genre is, there's no good bass list whatsoever that doesn't include Matt Freeman.
Deathconscious 10.26.16	Intronaut's bassist. also Cormorant's (not the new guy on Earth Diver though).
Deathconscious 10.26.16	oh, and Streetlight Manifesto's.
Davil667 10.26.16	Check Infectious Grooves. It shows Rob Trujillo at his absolute best. So much fun to play and top-notch training material :]
