I listen to what many might consider the dinosaur bands, but where does that put Bach and Beethoven...primordial soup composers? Anyways, I seem to have begun concentrating on Progressive Rock from the 60's and 70's, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Electric Light Orchestra, Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull, and many more. I've also discovered that playing the bass parts for these kind of songs is a pain, but a fun learning experience, Chris Squire from Yes in particular, although I think I'm getting the hang of Roundabout, but Geddy Lee (Rush) is far beyond my grasp...
I just got a new bass last week and love how it sounds and plays. It's a Squier Jazz Bass
