reading all these top bassist lists im surprised to see mr zender overlooked in so many, especially the ones talking about modern bassists...has everyone forgotten how good jamiroquai were back in the zender glory days...i admit the mans gone somewhat of the radar and might not be as spread out as players like pino but the lines he played on the early jamiroquai albums are legendary...also, he might not of been as influential to the kids of the time as say flea may have been.but, he definately did his bit for the budding bassists (like me) playing today...to finish id like to leave you with two words...DEEPER UNDERGROUND |

Trigg
I'll be honest, at first I didn't realize they had a male singer. |

I don't hear anything new or different. If you like that style bass listen to some Bernard Edwards, Verdine White, and Anthony Jackson. |

Still, the man has got serious talent, I mean he did the first Jamiroquai CD at 17!  I know Woodchuck, a monster himself, loves Zender, and gives him much love as an early influence. Woodchuck also is not the kind of brother to forget the originals either. In short, I think Zender deserves credit for bringing the old school to a new generation and putting some of himself into the mix too.

He's got great licks and can play some pretty fast stuff. He's a great slapper too. I can't say enough good stuff about this guy. He's underrated and doesn't get enough credit. I wish he was still putting out funky grooves. |

Amazing guy and a big inspiration of mine.

Zender is undoubtably great though, jamiroquai are not the same since him and toby smith left..  |

Where is he now? I know there was rumor of a rock band... Has anything new been released? |

Zender only played on the first 3 albums - the later bassists I think sound more generic. I love the line on Music of the Mind off the first album

Zender is undoubtably great though, jamiroquai are not the same since him and toby smith left.. | Stuart is playing on DU. He recorded his Warwick through an Ashdown combo. He quit the band shortly after the song was mixed. In fact, Mark Gooday, the owner of Ashdown is the one who told me he had quit about an hour after Stu told him.

This is a great song, but not a good representation of Stu's great playing. I"m pretty sure that is a a keyboard bass. Still it's jamming something terrible. What kind of bass is Stu playing these days??

| | | | Did Zender play on the track Virtual Insanity? The only Jamiroquai song I've heard. I love it, and the bass line is pretty fun to play.
