What do think of Andy Hess?

I have always been a big fan of the Mule and Andys playing.

I think that I have subconsciously absorbed his style of playing. ( In the box, simple and solid, etc.) There is sure something to be said for the economy of motion.

I am now coming around to his approach to gear. An old P bass plugged straight into an ampeg. Doesn't get much simpler than that.
Why it took me so long to see the light, I'll never know.

Here is a cool tune:

I like Hess. I like his approach too. I like his gear, although, I am more of a Jazz V guy.

I'm a big fan, check out the new Will Bernard CD 'Blue Plate Special'.

Quite simply put, the most impressive bassist I've ever seen live (And I've seen some good ones).
IMO the perfect bass player

Man I love his playing.. I hate that he isn't going to be playing with the Mule anymore...

I've read that the new guy is suppose to be a cross between Woody and Andy, but will see.
