I do a lot of subbing on Bachata gigs - one of my closest friends/favorite drummers is touring Europe right now with Toby Love (he also plays with Prince Royce, and numerous other groups in the genre), and he usually invites me whenever he needs a bassist.

I don't know where you're located, but if you're near the NYC area (or visit there), come check it out. We always wind up throwing in some hot Latin rhythms in our sets, and of course, sneak in some Bachata.
Hmmm ... I think I see the attraction. Do me a favor, OK? Make sure to get some pics of the dancers at your next gig so you can post them in the CAS thread.
I'm a bachatero also. I play with my band and are currently working in pit first album
I found that a sweet bachata groove comes from the coordination of the segundas bass line and the main bass line. Ive heard recordings where the Segunda doesn't play bass but instead fills in the blanks left bY the bass guitar. They are alright. But nothing beats the sound of the Segunda and bass in unison !
