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.
Oh theres plenty of us, just not as many as guitar players. Les Claypool is my guy. Larry Graham, Bootsy, Flea, Stanley Clark, Jaco....cant go wrong. Played bass and drums both for 20 yrs, so I am all about the rhythm section.
