Chrisabian Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Right then, I am Chris, 24, from Manchester and have been playing bass for 1 1/2 years now. Absolutely addicted to it. My musical passion lies with reggae, I personally believe it is the highest form of music. So with that respect, Aston Barrett is my all time favourite bassist, followed closely by Robbie Shakespeare. I do appreciate other forms of music such as funk, soul and rock n roll but I always end up sticking the reggae back on. So yeah, I reckon I'll be sticking around this place. About to upgrade some of me gear as I've finally been asked to join a band. Cya around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I grew up on dub, reggae and prog rock and I still love it all! Hope you have a nice time here mate, quite a few reggae players on BC. What do you reckon to this? The keys player is in a band with another Basschat member. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisabian Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cheers for the welcome lads. Yeah, looking forward to increasing my bass knowledge around here, got so much to learn. silldx, I'm quite liking the sound of that laid blak tune, has a good vibe to it. Not sure on the vocals though, seem a bit soft/camp to me. I prefer a bit more aggression in my reggae. I'm pretty desperate to join/form a reggae band. I could play riddims all day. I had a drummer mate who was on my wavelength but I only just got into bass just as he packed up and moved to Ghana! No one else seems interested in playing reggae around my way, though there must be people lurking somewhere, just got to find them. The band I've been asked to join is a little covers band, and considering I've got virtually no experience playing in a band I'm going to make the most of the opportunity and learn as much as possible, even if it isn't what my fingers want to play.
