Brad Smith is an excellent player. I am currently wrapping up a feature on him for an upcoming issue of Bass Frontiers Magazine. Check out his new work with Unified Theory at:

I also have a Photopoint gallery of some live and backstage shots I took of Brad last year at Slim's in San Francisco at:

do you know who his influences are???

Yeah, I have it all on tape but it's been a while since I did the interview. If I recall correctly he listed Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick as a major influence but I'm not sure. I'll be transcribing the tape soon though...sorry but it's been a while and I've done many interviews since Brad. It'll all be in the feature in Bass Frontiers.

Interesting thing to note about Brad is that I think he said he hasn't changed his stings on his Gibson Les Paul Triumph in over 8 years.
