I recently busted out Beck's Midnight Vultures for the first time in a while, and I have to say that Justin is a monster. His lines are always perfect, and he's got groove for days. Aside from his work with Beck, he's done a ton of other great stuff, in the studio and otherwise. I hadn't heard him in a while, but listening to this album put him back at the top of my list, as far as great players are concerned. If you haven't heard him - you definitely need to check him out. |

He's also using a REDDI at the moment, he really has an awesome tone makes me wanna string alot of my basses up with flats.

And at a "meet and greet" after an Ima Robot show, I got to tell him that, which was cool. He's a really down to earth, nice guy.

I always thought he does some very creative bass playing for top 40 music, sometimes even experimental Quote:
Do you find producers today, favor a passive tone?
JMJ -Unequivocally. I can't bring in an active bass, and the only one I have anyway (besides an RD, which doesn't really count, in my book) is a Wal, and that is a very unique voice, thankfully.

He is a pretty cool guy and a very good bassist. |

I think I'm gonna check out some Ima Robot next. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
