KG, if you like reggae influences, are you a fan of early Police work w/ Sting? While I am a guitar player, I've frequently heard bassists rave about the bass player for Level 42, also recently the Blues Travelers (live).

I'm not familiar with Level 42, but I've heard Blues Traveler--one of those great improv bands, like the Grateful Dead in their prime. I'm a big fan of the Police & Sting's solo career. I saw the Police in concert in 1982. That was one of the best sounding shows I've ever seen. I'm also a fan of the late Bob Marley--his bass player, "Family Man" Barrett, is one of my favorites, too.

Interesting. The cleanest sounding show I ever saw was Joe Satriani at a large nightclub in Baltimore, MD. It was unbelievable. Now, he gets to me after awhile with all that spanking, but I tell you the notes were so discernable throughout the nightclub - it's ruined alot of live stuff for me now because it was such a high quality sound and I am now overly disappointed when I listen to people these days. It was superior in many ways to a recording. He had Stu Hamm with him on bass. That was a great show.
I always say, the soundman (soundboard) is the fifth bandmember (or sixth or seventh or whatever). He can make or break you.

e-street nation!

I'm also a former bass player. 17 years full time, retired in '89 to do the family thing and go back to school. I'm an IT professional now and looking to get my feet wet in the music scene after a 4 year layoff.
I must say that in almost 30 years being a musician, I never met another musician even remotely interested in wargaming. To hear of 2 others in one day is phenomenal!
Matrix rocks!
