I love his bass playing, and I think he added a great touch to Nirvana.

But in all objectivity, he's a very average bass player, nothing to write home about.

Bassists are failed guitarists.

Seriously they are, I've been playing guitar for over 5 years, I never got that good, one day I just said, "to hell with this, I'm getting a bass".

He's a funk bassist, slapping is a main part of his technique, though thats not to say he can't do without, Californication has some great melodic bass playing with very little slapping.
