Hello,
I’m a new member here and wanted to say Hi!
To date, the Wahoo products I use are the Bolt v2, Speedplay Power Pedals, and Tickr Fit HRM. I can honestly say that I have been very satisfied with Wahoo products and Support.
See you out there!

Hey ho @Rayzorx from Canada!
Who are your favourite bassists (from any genre)?
I’ll go first. For a variety of reasons:
Jaco Pastorious. Victor Bailey. Paul Chambers. Ron Carter. Chris Squire. Sting. Mick Carn. There are others of course but I’m more into vocalists/drummers (though I have no talent at either).
I’m pretty okay at bikes. My wahoo products include a Kickr, Climb, Trackr HR, Roam2, ACE, Bolt3 as well as wahoo speed/cadence sensors.
Welcome and Wahoo!
Thanks!
Hello Glen
Favorite bassists: John Paul Jones was a big one for me. One that really influenced me early on was Stanley Clarke, and later on Geddy Lee. One of the things I like to do to challenge myself, is learn the bass lines to Rush songs.
Nice. One of the things I LOVE about Rush and The Police are that guitar, bass and drums can so totally fill a sonic landscape when much bigger bands can sound thready and barren. In any event, welcome aboard, SoCal!
Welcome!
And since you’re a Rush fan, do you by chance listen to Dream Theater and attempt to play along with John Myung?
It has to be the Mani (Gary Mounfield) who sadly passed late last year. I don’t think the Stone Roses really made it big in Canada or the US but they were huge in the UK in the early 90s, and Mani’s bass was key to almost every track. Sound of my youth and utterly brilliant.
I was quite a Smiths fan. Was actually in Manchester in about 84ish.
I know the Stone Roses thanks to some significant airplay on KROQ of two songs: “Fools Gold” and “I Wanna Be Adored”. Listening to KROQ was one of the perks of growing up in the Los Angeles area in the 80’s and 90’s.
Three piece bands were always my favorite to play in.
I really like John’s playing as well, however I don’t think my fretless chops are as good as his.
Re: KROQ
I was living in Connecticut before moving to California, and I had a summer machinist intern working with me in my shop. We were into the same kinds of music, so one day he brought in some cassette tapes of KROQ shows that his friend in LA had recorded.
Coincidentally, six months later I moved to the LA area for work, and got to listen to KROQ every day.
FWIW, when The Police were starting out, Stewart Copeland (being the musical genius that he is) had to tell Sting when to play the bass notes to be coherent with Andy Summers’s guitar playing.
Copeland is, hands down , my favourite drummer. I’m actually going to see him performing The Police Deranged with our local symphony at the end of March
All answers were correct. Especially Geddy Lee and Chris Squire!
I can believe that!
I saw the Police in concert twice, back in the early 80’s. Stewart Copeland is a brilliant drummer, one of my favorites. I was in a band in Connecticut for 7 years, and the drummer was the best I ever played with. If someone was messing up their timing, he’d throw a stick at them
Rush is touring in Europe next year and they’ll be playing in Munich 
. ticket sale starts on Friday, just hope it’s affordable
Not Rush without Neil 
Agreed.
I feel that Anika Nilles probably has the chops to learn and play Neil’s parts for the Reunion Tour. However, Neil was more than just the “heartbeat” of the band. He was also the thinking Spirit, that produced some of the most prolific lyrics ever heard in Rock music.
