early in november i visited the Whiskey a go go to hear a friend's band play (they're called Verna Beware), and i was fortunate enough to hear some other bands before them. regarding bass, the band right before Verna Beware was tops. They're called Sol District, and their bassist was fantastic. They're a five part, latin-influenced rock band. In many of their songs, bass really was their lead instrument. He was playing a fender bass (which isn't my favorite make, but he seemed to be really comfortable and aware of it).
it was refreshing to hear strong, lead bass from an unsigned band. so many of those bands are all about flashy guitar and vocals.
check out their songs "ER" and "5 Miles" on their page: Sol District
