    For Those That Play A P-Bass...Why Do You Like It So Much?

    I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s so my definition of ‘Metal’ may seem outdated. But to me, Geezer Butler and Steve Harris are great bassists who...

    For Those That Play A P-Bass...Why Do You Like It So Much?

    What I love about the Pbass is the tone. Given the simple design, it’s really easy to dial in a great sound. With a fresh set of Rotosounds, it...

    Who is your most underrated bassist?...

    I like his work in Rainbow. "Gates of Babylon" is a killer!

    Are Sterling Stingrays worth buying??

    I enjoyed mine and got a lot of use out of it. It was well made. Just wasn't for me ultimately.

    Who would you say is the best metal bassist??

    I gotta go with Geezer Butler. His style of playing is melodic, aggressive, fluid, and he incorporates those killer string bends that perfectly...

    Once you go flat, you never go back

    I think it depends on the context. In my humble estimation, flats sound good on recordings, especially when you play with a pick. The dynamic...

    Are all/most of your basses strung with the same strings?

    I love the zing and clang of new rounds. I only use Rotosound 66 stainless strings. Heck, there’s even a picture of John Entwistle on the package.

    Gnarliest P pickups (also NBD)

    Do most of your notes need to match the hi-hat feel?

    I like to lock in with the kick drum. On stage, I like to keep the bass drum in my peripheral vision so I can see those double kicks and lock in....

    greatest unknown basslines

    I grew up in the 80's, so, to me, Chicago were just a cheesy band that did schlocky ballads. Imagine my surprise when I went back and dug into...

    What is your experience on fretless basses?

    I love mine, especially for ballads and cover songs that originally featured a stand up bass. I’m an avid P-bass guy, so I built my own with a...
