Groovy band! Christian looks pretty damn cool too, but I have to admit his outfit reminded me of this:   |

And the fretless playing is amazing. Perfect intonation and insane chops.
Even worse is he can do all that on upright too

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: British Columbia, Canada | | Not from this planet! His slab-bass work is not too shabby, to say the least, but check out his solo on "The Wizard of Montara" (upright bass) on this video (for those of you too lazy to follow the link to his site). http://christianmcbride.com/multi/video/montara.wmv
You don't have to be a UB player to appreciate that! |
