The Flaming Lips' Michael Ivins. Starting with "clouds taste metallic", he's done some very, very neat and interesting basslines, usually playing more melodically and higher on the neck. andrew

My good friend recently switched to bass after frustration with guitar. He would like to know about players who play interesting/intricate bass parts on electric bass. He is looking for rock players, but experimental, free improv, jazz, etc would also be useful. Thanks.
