Scott Griffin is an American musician who is best known as a former bassist for L.A. Guns and Ratt. [1] In 2007, Griffin was announced as the bassist for L.A. Guns, having previously played in Dizzy Reed's cover band Hookers N' Blow, replacing Adam Hamilton.[2] From 2015 until April 1, 2016, Griffin was the bassist of a revamped version of Ratt, led by drummer Bobby Blotzer.[3]

After one of Griffin's side-projects, The King Mixers, were offered a residency in Las Vegas in 2009,[4] he left the group and was replaced by former Beautiful Creatures bassist Kenny Kweens.[4][5] In 2011, he re-joined L.A. Guns,[6] but departed the group once again in September 2014.[7]
