^ Lol. Claypool is in every other post. I think Flea is an admirable bassist, but he gets overshadowed by John's guitar a lot. He definitely has some groovy bass lines and is probably the reason their so funky.

I find there are a few good female bassists (in part because there are so many more female bassists than guitarists or drummers). I'm not talking about Kim Gordon or D'Arcy Wretzky (though they were decent). I think Melissa Auf Der Maur is a good bassist, even in comparison to other male bassists.
