Been playing bass 5 years, started learning guitar seriously last year. I love playing guitar nearly just as much as bass. Playing bass has helped a lot in learning guitar. But also playing guitar has helped me learn my bass more. I don't see any sin being committed here!

I live in a town not to far from Southend. Bio says London though... but close enough.

Cool fact cheers! I also know he played on Verses From The Abstract (only because Q-Tip shouts him out!) Couldn't agree more with you about Mobb Deep and Wu. I see your next post..Nas is a beast as well. My favourite song is Halftime.

GHS P Flats or Labella, tension up to you but those are my favs

If I have to play with headphone I use my Focusrite interface plugged into my mac. Nothing beats an amp out loud though for me!

Hi, I'd recommend the FL Labella set (104 gauge on the E string) and they are a great tension.

Thanks for sharing these stories. They have been great reads and have really made my day in the office a lot more exciting.

I can confirm this! Strung GHS P flats thru body and FL Labella's both E strings snap after about three months. Worth going thru the bridge unless you get those specially designed flats.

That bass is a beauty. $800!!? Wow....

Sounds like a great memory

Riders On The Storm

Spot on! He's a genius... Down By The Seaside. Amazing!

JPJ is one of (if not) my favourite bass players and not to mention his tone. Just check out those bridge parts in How Many More Times. So clear and round. Solid bass player.
