I became a serious player because of sublime! That's the style of bass playing I like, but I don't know any other ska bands. Can you guys name some good bands that I can get into. I'm already gonna check out long beach dub allstars today but want to check out more....

Pick any of those. If he doesn't birdhunt, too bad. If he doesn't smoke a tobacco pipe, too bad. | |

As a general rule I hate ska, but they're ok. Sometimes.

I wouldn't call either of those ska, though if you're into Sublime you'd probably like them, they're more reggae than anything else.
