Best Punk Bassist

However, their founder bass player, Dan Lilker, whilst essentially a metal bassist, certainly has a more punk feel to his playing.

Without a doubt. I've never been a fan of Anthrax but dug his work on S.O.D.'s first album. He's one of my favorites.

Gotta agree with Klaus Flouride. I'd also include Glen Matlock, Dee Dee, Paul Simonon, Steve Burgess and, although I don't really like Pennywise much, I am impressed with the bass lines by Jason Thirsk and later, Randy Bradbury.

I don't want to see the name Sid Vicious on a punk bassist thread!

Punk - possibly
Bassist - Most definitely not

Among my favourites are:
Klaus Fluoride - dead kennedy's
Hunter Burgan - afi
Geoff Kresge - earlier in afi
Chris Barker - Anti Flag
and all three bassists from Pg.99

Rob Wright of No Means No of course. Watt would be a close second. Nobody in the genre can touch these guys as far as tone and innovation go.

I don't know if I'd put Watt second but to everyone else...^^^^Rob Wright and Watt are the answer. Period. End of story. Insert other cliches. Disagreement means you either have not been exposed to the greatness or have very poor taste :ninja:
