I know there have been many Mike tone threads over the years but this one may be a little different. I want to use this thread to document how the average bass player can get close to that Mike Gordon sound and start an extremely in depth discussion about the nuances of Mike Gordon's fundamental...

A pretty cool rundown of Mike Gordon's 2024 Phish bass rig, with a pedal board walkthrough and demo of some nice synth sounds. His Serek with those Zen Blades sounds pretty thick.

If you're a fan of Phish, and you follow them on social media, you might have come across Mike Gordon showing off his new Serek: Mike Gordon on Instagram: "As you may have noticed — been playing a new bass the past few nights with Phish. Wanted to share some thoughts/info/comparisons, if you...

Hi all! My friend Derek and I have recently created a group on Facebook called “Jam Bass.” We are focusing on profiling and analyzing the stylings of players like Phil Lesh, Mike Gordon, and Allen Woody. It is a supportive community and there are great transcriptions and demonstration videos...

I have a friend in Antioch, IL looking for a Phish Phriendly jam funky type bassist. Contact me if this fits you and I will be happy to hook you up with them. I was going to do it, but I am vastly over stretched in my time these days

The title says it all. Who is the guy that you think absolutely KILLS it that doesn't get the recognition of some of the top-shelf bassists that we're all accustomed to hearing about. I'll throw my hat in for Mike Gordon. His tone and technique is way over what he gets credit for. Who does it...

Im 20 years old. I first picked up bass as my main instrument but was pushed into playing guitar soon after. I am in a band right now and i have recently been displaced from my position on guitar to a new place on bass. I have never played bass with a band before and I think I'm a bit lost on...

the ones everyone talks about recently on here thats sloppy, seems unprepared etc. My band doesn't rehearse, setlist is sent out a week or so before the gig. Some of the songs are easy and can be played without much thought, others not so much and we basically end up rehearsing them on stage...

I did a minimal amount of using the search engine and Phish came up with mostly questions about how to play certain songs or band situations involving playing phish songs...all of which are more than appropriate for a forum dedicated to bass. I...however...was hoping to unite those of us in...
