  5. Haha, just read what Ubersheist wrote. Guess great minds think alike.
     
  6. Klaus Flouride
    Joe Lally
     
  7. Don't remember his real name, but he went by "Jeff Magnum" while in the Dead Boys. A great 70s rock bassist playing hard and fast in a great punk band. Listen to Son of Sam, Ain't it Fun or Big City, all off of the second record "We Have Come For Your Children"

    i think Jah Wobble qualifies, although Public Image.Limited was a unique band.

  11. I know this is a cliche, but my favorite punk bassists are Paul Simonon, Mark Hoppus and Mike Dirnt

    Descendents - two of the best punk bass players.. Check out "suburban home" on Milo Goes to College.
     
  17. Klaus, of course.

    Also, the dude from Anti-Flag was a part of the reason I chose bass over guitar.
