What exactly are you looking for? (model of bass, technique, effects, gear, other?)

Technique and effects. And playing styles.

I cant really tell you a playing style.
I mean in theory I can atempt to describe some to you,
But your style is somthing you have to develop on your own.

Punk bass (and guitar for that matter) is rather simple and repetitive.

A good mode for you might be the Mixolydian. It looks like this...

__________
E A D G
__________
O | O | O |__
__|__|__| O
O | O | O | O
__|__|__|__
O | O | O | O


Each "O" is a note in the mode. It can be played anywhere on the fretboard.
If that's confusing, here's an example.

Scale - C Major
Mode - G Mixolydian

3__3__3__
_________4
5__5__5__5
__________
7__7__7__7


And if this is still confusing, this is the sequence of notes in the Mixolydian:

Root note/Whole Step/Whole Step/Half Step/Whole/Whole/Half/Whole


And if you already know all about the modes, I'm sorry for wasting both of our time.

Why not? what's wrong with the misfits, dead kennodys, the ramones and the casualties?

Because punk is about image, not the music itself. The music sounds like s**t, simple and repetitive s**t.

bassically, your right

Its all about the message in punk, not the music. like 80s rap. it told you something in the music, be it political, satire, or social. it made a point.

Why would I care about what a bunch of musicians have to say about politics?

Right, but rap back then was talented. Whether you like it or not, rapping back then was full of poetic devices and was far more lyrical than anything rap has put out recently. 80's rap took talent, punk takes rebellious ignorance and power chords.
