ben4343 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 [quote name='Johnny Wishbone' timestamp='1497364232' post='3317557'] Rancid's bassist is stupidly good, and is fairly prominent in the mix. Check out their "...And Out Come The Wolves" album. [/quote] Agreed. Same holds for Operation Ivy of course, who I think I preferred. Fat Mike from NOFX is also killer. Rage Against the Machine have loads of really playable bass riffs; they are great to jam along to. Tool have a dream bass tone and amazing riffs too.

boom boom Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Tina Weymouth - Talking Heads, Psycho Killer - great example (I think) of how a simple bass line works Not really the period/genre you asked for but i like any of Graham Maby's work (Joe Jackson/ They May Be Giants) Edited June 14, 2017 by boom boom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeystrange Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 More punk than pop punk but Chris #2 from Anti-Flag is a great player. Check out any of their albums. All My Best Friends Are Metalheads by Less Than Jake has a cool bass line too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bassman7755 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Stretching the definition of punk a little but ... The Jam, bruce foxton is a standout player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Shreikback did some great stuff. Not punk as such but born in the early eighties. Personal favourite is My Spine is the Bassline - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m8bq7fb7o2g Care and Oil and Gold albums are well worth a listen.
