Doug Wimbish is a bassist and producer with a long a varied career.  Beginning in the late ‘70s, Doug was part of the legendary Sugarhill Records rhythm section, where his bass could be heard on hits from Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel and Angie Stone.  Wimbish was also a founding member of the funky, electronic ‘80s band TackHead.
