big fat leads, one of the few bands where the bass overshadows the guitar in that regard.

charles mingus:

handles those upright cables like a toy, plus an amazing composer.

kim deal:

Post by: 1992 on April 29, 2010, 12:18:27 PM: Damn.Avrid..good call on Jah Wobble. Poptones was a good choice but I think this track really sets his bass into another realm all together. It' still P.I.L. though. "Death Disco".

James McGearty from the original line-up of Christian Death. Fretless.
Lady Bass.
David J. from Bauhaus/Love and Rockets was good too.

I don't know if I should like him or not. He had skills, but his statements of being a better guitar player than Jimi, I don't know.
Don't really know if he's a douche or whatever
