Im not a punk bassist really but pretty influenced by punk bassists...nearly all my favorite bassists started doing punk.

In my favorite bassist I count one punk bassist anyway, Paul Simonon. And while I hate to admit it now, when I started playing as a teen in the mid 90s, it was partly along to Green Day records. There's not a song from 39 smooth to Insomniac I didn't learn to play note for note... Ok some will say pop punk isn't really punk. But whatevs. And while I moved away from Green day a couple of years after, I can't deny Mike Dirnt has had a bit of a lasting influence on my style.

[AaronVonRock]

I'm in.

I like 60s/70s/80s punk the like The Sonics, The Stooges, MC5, Misfits, The Damned, Ramones, Johnny Thunders, Black Flag or "newer" bands like Electric Frankenstein, Gluecifer, Supersuckers, New Bomb Turks, Rocket From the Crypt that have more of a punk rock n' roll sound.

All pick, all downstrokes.
