I play the bass as well. I played in bands all through college, and I really miss it now. I guess playing out several nights a week had something to do with me spending almost 8 years as an under grad. Play the guitar as well, but I always play bass in bands. We used to do a killer version of YYZ - gave me hand cramps, but always came out pretty good. I have only seen them once, and would like to again. I don't know what location your in, but one of the high definition music channels has been playing a fairly recent concert, and it is awesome. Getty is awesome, but everytime I watch it, I want to be a drummer.
