It seems like there are a lot of threads 'who is the greatest bassists alive/eva', 'who pushed the boundaries the most' and 'who is better joe vs bob'.
In reading all these threads i cannot see any new/young bassists having an influence on the way bass is played. Is this just my lack of exposure to new music or is there no young bassists out there doing anything? If there are any young bands/bassists out there could someone pls tell me who. |

we've got a pretty good line up. my guitarist is the best i've ever heard my age (15). the drummer is a 15 year old girl with a double bass set up and the singers is voice pretty incredible with a range from bass to soprano.

There is some really good jazz but i never run out of jazz bassists to listen to. So i was looking more for something in the vein of primus or chilli peppers, not for that style but just for some good rock music where the bass is out the front.
Something new that is. |

In the future...Basses will have thousands of "strings". These "strings", however will be actually super sensetive lasers. Each will have perfect pitch. There will be no need for using are left ( or right ) hands to fret, we will have robots do that for us. |

I also enjoy Mike Gorden fom phish. There are several really great bass players out now!~ You just have to look and stay away from main stream rock! I will also agree the guy from 311 is good and the guy from incubus is good as well! Wide spread panic is also another!
