Greatest punk bassists?
 

We had a great punk guitarist thread... but who are your favorite punk bassists?

The guy from Minutemen. I forgot his name..
He's really good though. Probably my favorite of what I've heard.

Mike Watt. That's his name.

The greatest Punk bass player ever was Alastair Donaldson, AKA William Mysterious from the Rezillos. (born 27 April 1955, Edinburgh; died 18 June 2013, Edinburgh)

I have no idea who this dude is, but that photo is epic.

Cool, I'm glad it has your stamp of approval. It's thje only one I could find. I was surprise how hard it was to find a picture of him.

How are we defining punk here? Punk rock & hardcore, or are we including all the other stuff? Post punk, No Wave ect (Bauhaus, Cure, James Chance & the Contortions)

Post punk I still would call punk honestly.

Nods to Mike Watt


Will Shatter
Kim Gordon
Jeff Pinkus
Paul Simonon

Steve Youth from 7 Seconds is pretty great:

I just can't give Grant Matthews from Rudimentary Peni enough love I guess.
