Thanks for votes of confidence guys. I'm new at bass playing and newer with BiaB. So I'm just jumping in, doing my best and learning something with each composition . . . not to mention having a ton of fun in the process.

Rayc, you are entirely correct. True reggae bass players have a style all their own and it would probably take me months to even approximate it. They seem to hit the root note at times but then syncopate away from the rest of the band all while leaving open air/space to create a rhythmic, almost gyrating feel that is unique to reggae. Then in the next phrase, they're doing something a tad different . . . masterful!

dcuny, I was just day dreaming about your very thought the other day. It's just a matter of time before PGMusic (or someone else) develops software that delivers realistic vocals given some lyrics, a chord progression and a time signature/tempo.

TuneMonger, yeah I'm happy with the tone. All the elements in my signal chain from my flatwound bass strings, to the bass model in my amp, to the A to D conversion, to how Audacity interprets the D all come together to produce a nice tone. I wish I could take credit for that but it's each link in the chain doing it's part.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
