Off the top of my head: Gary Arce.

Of course, he uses a straosphere's worth of 'verb.

And I guess he's got some drive in there too, but I still consider it "clean."

Smiths-era Johnny Marr. Clean most of the time
Andy Rourke is also one of my favorite bass players.
Fuck I love The Smiths.

First two that come to mind:

(He usually uses effects, but this is a great example that he doesn't have to)

Greg Ginn.

Carson's beard...

I'm sure it alone could play better than most of ILF.

Seriously. I would bow to this.

would have to say it's a tie between Bill Frissell (ok not always effect-less, but usually clean) and um....:EDIT: I remembered the other one's name... Robert Cray.

frisell is my #2 clean player of all time

I'm lame and the only person I can think of is Dave Davison from Maps And Atlases.

Just because you can't think of any others means it was a bad choice

Jeff Buckley (If he counts.... there are some moments on Grace that are heavy as shit), Johnny Marr, Elliot Smith, and Dave Matthews.

thats just cheating
