I am stoked to see Harley Flanagan's name finally appear somewhere on TB other than my profile. I know they straddled the line during the crossover years but I would consider Best Wishes to be kind of a thrash album. His work on Age of Quarrel is awesome, but the awesomeness is even more apparent on the Age of Quarrel demos.

Anyone else think that many of the bassists suggested really only stand out when the band turned into a more progressive direction, so is not really thrash?

But where is the tone? I can saw on my bass at warp speed but it'll sound like crapola.

Not in order.

Dan Lilker (SOD, Nuclear Assault...)
Schmier (Destruction)
Dave Ellefson (Megadeth)
DD Verni (Overkill)
Greg Christian (Christian)
Jim Sheppard (Sanctuary, Nevermore)
John Campbell (Lamb of God)
Cliff Burton but that goes without saying.

To name a few
