xgabriel said:I found the Qintar...
He saw a thread about punks and came to intimidate them with his large rippling muscles then steal their girlfriends. The quintar hates punks.
Or.....the quintar saw the word punk in the title and thought it was another Chuck Norris thread.

Jeff Ott played guitar, Pete Rypins was the bassist. But I agree, I was always surprised at how good a band Crimpshrine was, their recordings always made them sound really amateur. But Jeff Ott was a pretty good guitarist, and Fifteen always had pretty good bassists. I don't know if Jeff wrote the parts and then taught the guys how to play it or the bassists just had tons of time to practice because they had no jobs, but Crimpshrine/Fifteen are criminally underappreciated in Punk. Green Day definintely stole riffs from them.

Ha ha ha ha ha... +1. My friend and I were talking about this morning. Interestingly enough, the lead-in was how much she hates Jessica Simpson. F-ing sad when you can dismiss what most people consider to be punk bands in the same breath as Jessica Simpson...
That'd be Klaus Fluoride, yeah.
Punk is such a horribly debated thing, and it doesn't even have a definition. Let's just drop that and get back to bass players.

its a little more on the ska side but what i've been learning lately is pretty sweet. Its tons of moving around cool stuff. Check out a song called "Here in your bedroom" by Goldfinger. My band's been working on this as a cover and its a fun bass line.
More of a hardcore band but nick from turning point was pretty good. He is one of the only punk/hardcore bassists to use slap and his basslines were very good too.
