There is a very good bass player named Michael Manring that I likeManring is outstanding in a trio called "Attention Deficit", with guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament), and drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander (Primus). These guys are phenomenal.
Another great band with killer bassist Mike Watt (Minutemen, Firehose) is Banyan, which includes drummer Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction), guitarist Nels Cline, and trumpet player Willie Waldman. Talk about groovin'!
