About Me

Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider

Bass World Radio celebrates the bass, bassists and bass playing. My name is Brian Sharples and I've been a bass player off and on for 31 years. I thought it would be a great idea to create an internet radio station dedicated to the bass and bass players. Not only would it be fun, but it would give me an opportunity to meet other bassists, hear new bass related music and share that music with others. I've been playing everything from rock to jazz to R&B to solo bass on the Live365.com network since April 2006. If it has an interesting solo or simply grooves, I'll play it.
