Great bass players that use picks.

[Thunder_Fingers]

John Entwistle and Phil Lynott.

John didnt use it constantly though.

 

[Jeff Martinez]

Trip Wamsely uses a pick once in a while.

 

[melt]

Me. Seriously, in addition to everyone previously mentioned, Leigh Gorman of Bow Wow Wow. Jon Camp of Renaissance. Oh, and Joey DeMaio of Manowar, although I'm aware he's not to everyone's taste. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Cliff Williams of AC/DC.

 

[JMX]

Hellmut Hattler (Kraan).

 

[Gasman]

Roger Waters, Dave Ellefson (?sp) of Megadeth, Duff, Eric Avery, both Tool bass players

 

[Buskman]

Joe Osborne!!!

 

[Nino Valenti]

Chris Squire
Dave Ellefson
Jason Newsted
Billy Gould
Rex Brown
Gene $immon$
Paul D'amour
Justin Chancellor
Anthony Valenti :O

 

[sublime0bass]

Pete Weintz

[funkybassplayer]

Phil Lesh
Steve Swallow
Anthony Jackson
Mike Gordan
Bobby Vega

 

[Richard Sabines]

I think from all of the guys you mentioned, I would pick Chris Squire and Mr. Entwistle.

 

[sk8]

John Entwistle and Phil Lynott.

John didnt use it constantly though.

Forgot Phil Lynott

 

[gweimer]

Tom Petersson

 

[Yngwie 4String]

The bassist for Rancid is pretty sweet. Also David Ellefson, and the guy from Dropkick Murphys (UNDERRATED)

 

[pstyle]

Duff McKagan fo sho!! Best pick tone ever.

 

[Funky Hugh]

Fat Mike from NoFX.

 

[animal52]

The bassist for Rancid is pretty sweet. (UNDERRATED)

+1 Matt Friedman I think


Hunter from AFI wrote some sick stuff before they started making pop music

 

[JohnSS]

Also:

John Lodge - Moody Blues
Glen Matlock - Sex Pistols
Carol Kaye
Bruce Palmer (w/Buffalo Springfield)

 

[Infernal Affair]

+1 Matt Friedman I think

Matt Freeman.

Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio and Brendan Kelly from The Lawrence Arms both use picks. I think the former is a much better bass player, but they both have some good lines. Brendan Kelly sings, too.

EDIT: I mean that Brendan Kelly sings more. Dan Andriano does sing, too.

 

[CraigG]

I mentioned him a few weeks ago in an almost identical thread and I'll mention him again...

Glenn Hughes

 

[MurvintheWalrus]

Lemmy Kilmeister and John Entwhistle Rule but as far as looking like a Bad Ass, its all the way CJ Ramone baby!!!!!!
