Ok, I'm going to pretend that this thread is about the best Punk bassist and then I'll ask "Do Joy Division count?" and you'll say "Well, their albums are closer to Post-Punk, but their earlier stuff as Warsaw is definitely Punk." and then I'll say "Well in that case, Peter Hook."

Mike Watt - and whatever bass he plays

Notice post punk has the word punk in it, hence Joy Division is a punk band. I do agree somewhat with the choice though, he is a good bassist. Mike Watt is better however.

esp is pretty good, id have to agree on that one. mike d. from killswitch plays one of those. but i dont think hes that good of a bassist. mainly just playing open d, and whatever the guitarists play.

And I'd agree.

Although JJ Burnell of 'The Stranglers' takes some beating.
