Title says it all. Who is your favorite punk bassist? Mine is Frank Bello.

For punk I've always enjoyed Fat Mike.

However, their founder bass player, Dan Lilker, whilst essentially a metal bassist, certainly has a more punk feel to his playing.
To answer your question, Jay Bentley, Klaus Fluoride and the magnificent Rob Wright from NoMeansNo. |

I'll add David Wm. Sims.
But as far as "best", but not "favorite" it's gotta be Mike Watt.
I just hope no one says Mike Dirnt, but I know it's gonna happen |
