Well i think it depends upon how we define the word definitive. Do we mean definitive as in the best or in terms of most remembered in retrospect? Personally my favourite line up was Buzz, Dale & Kevin but i think the current incarnation will be the one that is recalled in the future.

[thrashoholic]

For me, every line up has been equally great! I mean, it's Melvins. Have they ever put a foot wrong?

As far as the current line up, I think they get better with every release. TBSM is one of my personal favourite releases.

[linoleum blownapart]

i like the mark d era songs/records the best overall, but this line up crushes those song so i would say this line is the definitive line up.

Yea, but you're trippin' and not making a lot of sense.

What ex-bass player for Melvins has put out the best stuff since their stint with the band(proving they were a valuable asset while in the Melvins)?  Mark D, that's who,  just proving my point that the Buzz, Dale, Mark D line-up trumps all others past and present.

I'd say Joe Preston even though he ranks pretty low in my book as far as Melvins bassists go.

[anaconda]

It's all semantics! If and when they lose the BB guys I bet they will stop all together.

[ManWithNoName]

I thought we all have already established without a shadow of a doubt that the Kevin era is the best.

Why? Because Kevin worked as a janitor after playing with the Melvins.

[black stallion]

put it this way: Kevin live/Mark D studio  

[MrLuck87]

It's all semantics!

You mean it's all subjective?   

I'm being a dick.  I apologize.

[anaconda]

No I meant semantics! As in, what is the meaning of  "best" when applied to current and former bass players.
What does "best" denote? How can we quantify "best" when they've all brought something unique to the table.
