I am curious to find out if you guys know of any bassists for Christian bands that are worth hearing. I can only think of the bass lines from old school DC Talk. They were killer on some songs, but I'm wondering about recent bands, say the last 10 years or so.

And especially, who are the great red-haired left-handed Jewish bald bachelor cat-owning auto mechanic bassists?

Now most of those just sound like average players in the album. But live they are very talented musicians. |

Most Christian bands have really good musicians not just bassists. The ones that aren't really showy are still serious groove players.

That happens all the time around here. Not interested? Move on. Interested in vegetarian bassists? Start your own thread.

I always liked All Together Separate. Charles Rumahlewang, the bass player, was solid.
Big Abe has got to be my favorite.

And of course, Ryan Owens from Robbie Seay Band- crazy good bassist.

I like some of Audio Adrenaline stuff until I heard the bass player start a song off "note for note" Jane's Addition's "Mountain Song"... Trying to pull a fast one on those Christian kids that don't listen to secular music. For shame!!!! |

Who knew? | Well, I wouldn't say "religion" is a musical "genre", but if the certain style of music has a specific theme or philosophy, or is considered a form of worship. I guess you could call it a religious style or "genre".
