Presume everyone knows that Aimee Mann is pretty tasty on the bass as well as being a top singer and guitar player. When we saw her live she and the "other bass player" in the band swapped between bass and guitar all evening.

No one's mentioned Canoe Reeves but I guess that's well known.

Less well known is maybe Ryan Gosling...

Geeky actor Michael Cera...

Michael Cera plays House of Blues — really - Las Vegas Weekly

And didn't film critic Mark Kermode play bass for Danny Baker's short lived late night chat show?

Mark Kermode was in a skifflish band playing upright bass a long time ago..

Ian Brown of The Stone Roses originally played bass in The Patrol alongside John Squire, the band that would later morph into the Roses.

Didn't realise that!

However (and I'm not a massive fan of Stone Roses - they are OK) Ian Brown did turn out to be a good frontman and Mani a great bass player, so the shift around worked well for them!

Indeed! I saw the Roses live 'back in the day' and it was Mani that mainly caught my eye. He was actually the one that inspired me to buy my first bass and give it a go.
