Looking for recommendations...

Hey there, I'm usually a lurker and I end up reading these forums a lot, but I have some questions of my own. Recently I've joined my first shot at a band, which I've got to say is the funnest thing I've ever been a part of. I've been practicing for some four hours a day and I would consider myself a pretty fast learner. So heres my question, we're aiming the band to be a bluesy/ southern rock/ metal gig (think Clutch or Rebel Meets Rebel?). Anyway, I'm trying to be as original as possible when it comes to writing my own stuff, because I think we can all agree that anyone enjoys a band with bass lines that are actually appealing. Problem is that I really, really suck at coming up with my own stuff so far... So I've been trying to listen to other bassist for inspiration. I'm looking for a Cliff Burton doing Anesthesia kind of of style (Which I can actually play most of).

Basically, I'll take any suggestions of who I should listen to, though or any tips regarding coming up with your own stuff in this style of music.

Thanks dudes, rock on!

type in an artist and click on the artists that sprout from that one. Good for exploring your style.
