Aston Barrett (born Aston Francis Barrett, 22 November 1946), often called "Family Man", is a Jamaican bass player and Rastafarian. It has been stated that Aston was the 'leader' of the backing band and responsible for many, if not all bass lines on Bob Marley's greatest hits, as well as having been active in co-producing Marley's albums and responsible for most overall song arrangements. He is considered one of the elder statesmen of reggae bass guitar playing.
It's a fair assumption that there are some fat cones behind his sound. And I don't mean in the speaker cabinets.
