Sick Lix: Anthony Jackson #1 (Move Me No Mountain)
Here’s a classic gem featuring one of the greatest bass players of all time. You’ll need a five string bass to get the low notes on this one, but you can always transpose it up an octave i...
Sick Lix: The Time Has Come
Worship music seems to leave the bass player in the dust more often than not, but not on this tune! I wish I knew who the bassist was on this particular recording, but I have always adored getting to ...
