He's pretty good. Sublime used to be my all time favorite band, and he was my hero..but..i grew out of it. My only complaint is that he improvises too much. I have yet to get the Date Rape song down pact cuz i can't seem to tab all his improv...oh well. Cool guy.

My impression is that he uses patterns around chords, so it wasn't overly hard to figure out. If you can't figure out his improv, do your own; it wasn't meant to have definite structure in the first place!

yeah eric is the man...
his best basslines in my opinion are the ones in 40 Oz to freedom...then in Robbin´ the hood and finally in self titled cd.
this means that he did a splendid job in their first CD but it feels like they were going to get more pop, so the bass were "softened" in a way. you can hear the diference between the first and the last record.
but anyway he´s great.
(I haven´t heard him with the long beach dub allstars, but i´m willing to)
see ya |

| | | | he is a great bass player. Sublime was a sweet ska band(even though i think ska isn't really that good).he is probably the main reason i liked them

| | | | I'm glad to see all of the Eric Wilson love, he truly grooves like no other. Whether it's straight forward or one-drop, he dominating with his groove. He is also the reason I wanted to start playing bass, I grew up with Sublime in the 90's. I missed this thread didn't I? |

I am so grown out of being the kind of guy I was when I was obsessed with sublime, but that album is freakin amazing. Still diggin Eric's work. Like most awesome bands, he was the best part IMO.
