Members DevilRaysFan Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 Misght as well do this one too Whos the better 80s college/alt/pop bassist? Im voting for Mills - I like Sting, and I appreciate that he can play fretted, fretless, upright, and sing but Mike Mills is also a multi-instrumentalist and a good vocalist, and I generally like his basslines better - especially on the earlier stuff ( To me, hes the David Gilmour of bass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justinbass Posted November 17, 2007 Members Share Posted November 17, 2007 Mike is the man. I love sting, but mike has some amazingly simple, powerful basslines. Orange Crush comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
