Supertones is my favorite! Especially their ska type of stuff. Hey, they do every kind of music.

Good Christian Bassists?

I think it matters because for a long time Christian music did not have a very deep talent pool, and not much diversity in musical style. Nobody really paid attention to the actual talent or lack of talent on a Michael W. Smith CD.
Ditto on Sloas
Jimmie Lee Sloas can flat out play a bass. I found a CD of Scott Krippayne (More is the Title). I listened to the music and was impressed with Sloas's quick finger style of playing. His bass style rocks, and I started doing some research on him. He is a session bass player and plays for many well known artist - christian, country/western and pop stars. I would like to know what setup he has - bass, strings, preamp, and other. I would assume he uses tight strings to do his quick finger style. Since I have been listening to his playing, I have changed my strings to a heavier strings for higher string tension.
Jackie Street is also a bassist I have followed for a long time. I first saw him play live at a Russ Taff concert years ago. Street is a session bassist for Steven Curtis Chapman and other artist. His bass sound is sweet and the sound type I have always wanted to get. Anyone know? I do not know his setup but would like to know how he gets that unique "growl" sound. I don't know how to best descibe it. I know some of you are saying Stingray. I have one and love the sound.
Of course Ab Laborial is geat. Joel Smith also. Any setup info on Sloas and Street would be great.

Sloas is Fab. he played on just about every Christian album that came out of Nashville in the early 90's.
Abe L. is the stuff too. He blows me away. Listen to the Ron Kenoly album "Lift Him Up". Or his solo stuff like "Guidum" (sp?).
Older DC talk has a guy named Otto Price, I would guess he is solid as he looks. (but he was a Carvin endorser)
