John Steven Campbell(born September 30, 1972) is the bassist and a founding member of the metal band Lamb of God. He also plays with Richmond, VA rock band extraordinaire, RPG.

He uses a Mesa 400+ all tube bass amp and two Mesa Roadready 8x10 cabinets. His influences range from Willie Nelson to Kool Keith to Bad Brains.

Campbell is known for being able to double the notes the guitarists are playing, despite the larger length and width of the bass guitar's fretboard.

Campbell is also one of Lamb of God's two vegetarians, the other being Chris Adler.

He considers playing the lowest strings and notes to be a defining characteristic of his bass playing.

Unlike many bass players who will use four and five string basses, Campbell at one time played a self modified three-stringed Guild Pilot bass, excluding the higher G-string.
