    Any good "modern" bassist

    Isn't she? And talented!!!!! But aside from that, and to get back on track... If you want something INCREDIBLY challenging, I'd recommend Blotted Science - The Machinations of Dementia. Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse) on bass. The entire CD was composed around select scenes from...
