By which I mean any talented people, anywhere, and Krist Novoselic.
Oh shit no.
Dude's bass playing was fantastic in Nirvana; simple but really effective.
Yeah, I love his bass playing. Though the parts themselves were relatively easy to play, they were crafty--he would go from following Kurt on the root note to following him on another note within the chord, all the while creating a free-standing riff that resolved itself in its own way. The "Lithium" bassline is a good example of this. Very beboppy in theory, if not in execution.
For years I've heard people criticize his bass playing--I always suspected it's because he just looked like such a big doofus bouncing around onstage.
