Well I'm the only real bass player. He was a guitar player who got roped into it, which seems to be the case more often than not. Sadly a lot of them just hammer away on the roots. But then I am only now starting to really understand the instrument. (In the old days, I never did any serious practicing of the rudiments - scales and interval exercises.)
I almost joined Tune Ahead, but I didn't care for their originals very much and I found your friend (Keith I think?) a bit off. I remember that he had typed out all his lyrics with the chord changes and had them all in a binder and thought that was odd. I think he was an ex-cokehead; he had kind of a strange energy and desire for control. Plus I didn't like lugging my gear to Berkeley. I only played with them once or twice. I remember he was angry at me for not wanting to keep playing with them and accused me of not having enough commitment, as if I should have been immediately all in on day one.
