Bass. Frank Bello plays bass guitar. He is an excellent bass player! He also has a very good voice. He sings a song on the album "The Threat is Real". It's a hidden track at the end of the album. It's about 3 minutes after the last song, "Stealing From a Thief", goes off. I believe Charlie (drummer) plays acoustic guitar on it too. Check it out if you can.
