This poll should be redone to include Jared Warren. I think I will also vote for Jared as their best bass player so far because he also has a great voice that compliments Buzz's and can assume lead vocals that sound similar to Buzz. Not to mention that the fro that he has grown also gives him an edge in the King Buzzo look alike category.
Something about that bright but slurry bass from Mark D on Stoner Witch just does it for me, and he gets my first vote. I'd support Jared for second, because his style is monstrous and violent.
I'm surprised Mike D and Kevin got the same number of votes.
As far as I'm concerned I think Kevin is way better than Mike D.

Yeah, i agree.
I've got to agree about Kevin & Jared's contribution to the sound as opposed to Mark D. Though I suppose it's unfair to compare the younger band to the older band because of their different development levels I still feel that Kevin, Jared and Joe added something rather than just playing bass like the other members.
Special sidenote though, Lorax did have interesting lines.
Jarred hand down
Jared has more talent at least evidenced in Karp, Big Business and Melvins. I like Kevins "angry elephant" sound. Mark Deutrom is now my second favorite Melvins bass player.

i might not want it in this same exact list a week from now, but now-
1- kevin/jared
2- joe
3- mark
4- lorax/lukin
Yeah, Mike D does some ryhmes and plays the drums for the Beasties
Mark D did that bass thang for a few Melvins albums
now that that is cleared up
Kevin has my vote
he had the great swivel thang going on live that was always fun to watch
and how he spit whenever wherever
felt like dude just didn't give a flyfuck about anything
rude and crude (fit the Melvins sound well)
the albums he is on are some stand outs too
especially bootlicker
