Bass Player TV interview

AK Rev · #1 10-31-2009, 11:24 PM

Justin, I just finished watching the full interview of you and it was very interesting (wish the recording would have been of better quality though). I'm not a professional musician but as a professional people person, I totally understood your comments about being someone that people want to be around and how that has helped your musical career. I thought a lot of your comments illustrated how versatility and flexibility can make you a better musician.

Great comments about getting a hollow body bass also. That's something I hadn't put enough thought into.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your sensible down to earth approach to music. To me, being a musician is as much about people as it is about music. Thanks.

Sorry for your loss, JMJ. Sending positive vibes to you and your family. Take comfort in the thought that she is at now peace

I had been off forum and didn't know she had passed. Sorry to hear that. I lost my granddad to cancer and my dad has gone through chemo/surgery twice and is coming up on chemo again. It's tough but it does help you appreciate the time you have with them.

When did they change that website? I can't find anything now either that was there before.

Broadbent · #8 11-24-2009, 02:38 PM

Ya I saw the change to, that sucks because they had an archive of fantastic bass clips

AK Rev · #9 11-24-2009, 02:40 PM

I would be surprised if they got rid of all of that material after they put so much effort into it. Anyone have contacts there? Frankly, I don't like the way it looks or what's on it now.

Looks like www.bassplayer.tv just redirects to the main bass player site now.. That sucks because they had some many awesome videos

Broadbent · #11 12-04-2009, 10:38 AM

JMJ vids are up on bassplayer.tv just watched the lot. a TON of great information directly from a pro.

Wow. That was great and very informative!

Jluckie3 · #13 12-07-2009, 09:14 PM

what TMBG record did you play on?

BobaFret · #14 12-21-2009, 02:48 PM

I loved this interview more than any other I've ever seen. At first I was thinking "When does he pick up a bass and show me something". I feel like I got way more out of it than if you had picked up the bass. Sometimes the best learning is done without the instrument.

Kudos to JMJ for being on the money.

You're very kind. I was kind of rambling, but ruminating on things that mattered to me. I hope it was of some help. I think there was an element there that wished I would play something. I hate playing bass in a setting like that, so if that continues to be what people would prefer to see, I may not be the guy to do that sort of thing in the future. All good though, there were plenty of people like yourself who got something out of it, and that's who I did it for.

BobaFret · #16 01-04-2010, 02:14 PM

I like the good 'ol wankery every now and again but it was very refreshing for me. As I get older it seems as if the cerebral aspect has become much more clear to me (thanks to seasoned professionals like yourself). Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Cheers very much, BobaFret. (Sickest screen name ever).
