I like Mike Gordon as well.

| | | | billy sheehan has a 4string, 6strying, 12 string but no 5string |

| | | Ack, there's too many out there! Oh well, here's a couple.
-Steve Digiorgio, as mentioned, has the audacity to tune the opposite direction amidst the wall of drop Z guitarists and still comands respect
-Sean Malone, great fretless 5 string work
-Steve Swallow, the quintessential bass guitarist of jazz
-Gary Willis, one of the original fretless masters
-Vic Wooten, though most of you probably haven't heard of him yet  |

| | run rabbit run | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Southern California | | | Steve Swallor is a favorite.
Juan Nelson uses that B string so tastefully, and makes it sound so gnarly.
I loved how approprate and tasteful Dirk Lance was with those lower notes too. |

| | | | Not a 5-string player except on some few songs but he downtunes to C#, Paul gray from slipknot. |

not forgetting Dave LaRue, or Stuart Hamm when he used a 5. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Shrewsbury, MA | | | I think nowadays just about everyone has a 5 string bass, but my personal faves are
Alex "Dirk Lance" Katunich from Incubus. he is one of the reasons i started playing. i am sad he is no longer in incubus, the drum/bass relationship is totally different now...although Ben Kenney is excellent as well...
Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne. say whatt you want about the music, but this guy can freakin' rip.
P-Nut. how can you leave him out? I think he brought the 5 string to the "mainstream" for a lot of modern bassists.
rock.
