I remember Marc well. I always liked him. Piano to bass seems like an easy move, since your left hand plays bass on the piano anyway. I took up the bass on a whim because TG and Roman were looking for a bass player. I had never even considered it before. I don't know if TG was trying to coax me when he mentioned it, but I immediately said I'd do it.
I know Marley was probably the first reggae I heard, but I first really took notice of the reggae bass with Burning Spear. All the lines are so massive. I recently read that Paul Simenon (The Clash) said that he was influenced by Leroy Sibbles of the Heptones. Specifically he said that he wanted a big bass sound like Sibbles for "London Calling."
