...just wanted to show some love for Juan, one of my favorite bass players. Beautiful, growly, rubbery sound and has some serious chops. Check out some youtube if you've never heard this guy get some solo time on stage!

Yes!!!! I have watched this youtube video at least 50 times. It is my favorite bass solo- all time. IMHO, it is the perfect balance of grove and technical showcasing.

One of my favorite bassplayers, the tone he got on the "Fight For Your Mind" album is what I've been after for years, it's incredible. It made me decide to buy an MTD. Love how tasteful he is as well. The bass lines he comes up with are killer.

I love his sound and playing on that album too, it's just perfect for the music, but in an innovative, progressive way
