Best MELVINS bass player

i woulda voted for dale nixon

I love Dunn's upright bass work on Freak Puke. What a cool album! Is he on any other latter-day Melvins (Lite) albums I might have missed?

i guess i'm not too surprised that buzz was a dick abt joe preston, but i'm shocked (shocked!) that so few stepped up to defend it itt. only one of the three solo recs with something to say, and easily the most forward-thinking, thanks mostly to "hands first flower". "bricklebrit" is pretty cool, too, rewards VOLYUME.

king buzzo = a couple nice melvins demos padded out w/ a throwaway noise piece and an awesome (awesome!) dave grohl goof. dale crover, while surprisingly song-driven & much more consistently "melvins-y" than the other two, winds up pretty forgettable, imo.

i mean, they all sound like half-assed homework assignments, but side 2 of joe's ep has held up real damn well over the years.

Love to re-read this thread

Since this poll, they've added Jeff Pinkus, Steve McDonald and Dale himself to the exploding bass player slot

I don't think I'd have voted for Trevor Dunn but I really like him with the Melvins

Trevor Dunn probably is the best bassist as bassist.

I'm thinking best period of Melvins might be a bit more under debate as the power quartet with Big Business and those records I think are as good as anything they have done.
