Episode 169 - The Fab 15 Bass Players

Empty Checking with Derek Brink

Just in time for the holiday, there's a new Empty Checking episode--and it's a FAB FIFTEEN! Some of you might not be able to be with family. Some of you might be with family that makes you want to put in ear buds. And some of you might get around to it sometime this weekend or like Tuesday or whatever... Whatever the case, your Uncle Derek and Papa Dave have you covered with the Fab Fifteen Bass Players! Whether you've already got a love for the low end, or you're looking to learn more, we've built a fun and bananas list that's sure to keep your toe tapping! (Be sure to check out the Spotify playlist while you're at it!) Enjoy! And happy Thanksgiving from all (both) of us at Empty Checking!
