I tried various searches but couldn't find a related thread.
I was racking my brain to try and think of some bands that have "made it big" with bass players who are primarily 5 string players.
By "made it big" I guess I'm referring to bands that had at least one release that went Platinum.

It just seems like in the media or YouTube vids I never see a mainstream band with a 5 string bass player... not that the bass player is ever prominent in a band video other than Rush
