Isn’t it a bit unnecessary to have two bass threads. Nothing against bassists or anything, but why couldn’t have this question be posed in the other bass thread? ---

> [@Crosswhite](#): > > My favorite bassist is the dude from anti-flag I love the angry young and poor bass line. He always super insane Yah, he’s pretty good. Just sometimes he seems to think hitting 10000 notes makes you good. I like the “stars & stripes” bassline ---

Yeah his basslines are always super fast and lightning fingered. Also you can not forget about Rhino from Mudvayne! He is epic. Umm Geddy Lee lol. I also really like the bassist from The Get Up Kids alot. LOL my computer is slow or I would watch the videos. the only bassist I know is the dude from Rancid and he’s good. ---

The guy from Anti-Flag uses a light pick. And the guy from Mudvayne is super overrated in my opinion.
