new song Smoothie Song kicks ass. but who is that bassist? that isnt the same guy that was playing in the concert i saw a year or two ago. do they constantly have different ones or did they just change recently?

Nickel Creek is the Shizznits!!! They put on a great show! I saw them about 5 months ago at a small outdoor venue and they rocked the house. Yeah I do think they switch the bassist out every so often. I guess since he isn't actually in the band or what not.

The bassist's name is Mark Schatz. I saw him play with the band at Bumbershoot. They had a different bassist at Wintergrass 2002. I think that Thile's father played bass with them, too. For all you Seattlites, "on the mountain 9" has an awesome live version of Spit on a Stranger.

Yeah, same here. I've searched everywhere for good Creek tabs. It seems like there's only a handful out there.

Here's an interesting piece of interesting info. In the video for the song the bassist is non other than Metallica's Rob Trujillo on upright bass.

Old thread I know, but Nickel Creek bassist Mark Schatz is a super nice guy. He gave me free tickets to a show once, and we exchange emails quite frequently after we exchanged addresses at a show...cool dude indeed.
