Along with every other aspiring bassist of my generation, I'm sure, 'School Days' was one of the tracks you absolutely had to get under your belt. Happy days.

Re: Favourite Bassist
JJB & Jah Wobble, what wonderful choices, they made a big impression on me back in the day. As you can see from my "fave guitarist" input as a non musician I don't separate them, hence my choice of Tina Weymouth, Bootsy Collins, Mark King etc

Re: Favourite Bassist
This is among my go-to albums, for when I've put something new into my second system, especially since I incorporated the sub. The bass is beautifully recorded (and played, obviously) but it's not just a test album, it's great to listen to anyway, on either system.
