Motocross_nick Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 If its only new bass players that have come to light in the 00ies, then my vote would be for Chris Wolstenholme (if thats how you spell it haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allighatt0r Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Fat Mike from NOFX. Definitely... Although he's probably a 90s as well... Damn and blast... *thinks.....* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Chancellor, James, Zender, Myung were all 90s (Mike Dirnt's technically 80s!) - and I saw Muse supporting Skunk Anansie in 1999... Tricky decade so far, there have been some great new bands, but no bassist has yet made much of an impression on me. I was going to say Martin Mendez from Opeth - but he first recorded with them in '99. /Gives up. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Nicholson"](first)[/url] bassist from the Arctic Monkeys was not necessarily a stunningly technical bassist, but he did make some very good bass lines, and the Arctic Monkeys formed in 2002.

There don't really seem to have been any real bass heroes this decade - plenty of well regarded players that play in successful bands, but no-one that Joe Public would recognise as a stand out member of the band in the way Burnell or Flea were. Maybe it accounts why bass players seem to be a bit thinner on the ground now, judging by the ammount of 'bass player wanted' ads in the classifieds.

Deep Thought Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Jake 'Bakesnake' Byers of Hayseed Dixie-saw 'em live in Falmouth last night (third time) and them beggars can play! Also JJ Burnel is still going strong in 2008! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Michele Stodart from the Magic Numbers is a great player. Listen to "Undecided" on their most recent album, it's really clever. Apparently she only learned to play a few years ago. Edited March 15, 2008 by stingrayfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry44 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) carlos d of interpol is a solid bassist, i think his work on their first cd is really good. also whoever is playing bass at any given time in the shins always plays some nice lines Edited March 15, 2008 by barry44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I remember seeing bloc party on later and getting very excited by the bassline to helicopter. At that stage it wasc doing something I hadn't thought you coul do on a bass. So bloc party's bass player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Bryan Beller-He did some great work in the '90's with 'Z',but has really kicked ass with Mike Keneally an Steve Vai over the last few years. Bryan's solo album 'View' is the best bassist-lead album for years and his column in 'Bass Player' is worth the price of the magazine.
