Usually when we had the band going, we had to settle for a guitarist that had a bass laying around. I haven't played much bass myself, but I've always been fascinated with it. Whenever I listen to a band, I'll often just follow that groove between the bassist and drummer. If they're tight, the rest of the band just kinda falls in line.
I think my favorite bassist/drummer combo might be Rage Against the Machine.
I thought the general rule was the bass player is just the worst guitarist in the band, lol. Although seriously, if you get good on bass you'll never have a problem getting projects and gigs.
I would have to go with either Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey from Tool or Sting and Stewart Copeland from The Police as my favorite bass/drum combos.
