jean baudin. wow.

i had heard of this guy before, but never got around to listening to him. well i finally got the incling to after visiting one of the warwick myspace accounts i check out from time to time, and the guy had a jean baudin song on the profile. i was blown away. i soon checked ot jean's myspace and was even more mystified. he really inspired me, and i hope to get a cd soon.
 
Jean Baudin is an ill dude. In the last 6 momnths I've become a fan of the multi-string tapping bassists. My favorite is a cat named Yvess Carbonne (pardon if spelling is off) who I think you can access his myspace profile through Baudin's. He's a bad multi-srting fretless player. Give him a listen.
 
Saw him with Nuclear Rabbit several years ago, it was awesome.

He's pretty insane on stage, and it has nothing to do with his bass playing (which is also insane).
 
Jean is a beast! He is one of the cats that inspired me to play bass the most along with Bill Dickens. I wonder how the heck he affords all of those custom basses, his band isn't all that well known yet. Those basses are all like $6,000 up :eek: and he has like 15 of them and a killer Acugroove rig. It must be nice. I am just trying to scrape together enough to get one custom bass:mad: .

His CD seems to be taking forever, i'm pretty sure it was originally due out last summer. He needs to spend less time playing computer games IMO.

He's said that he gets his basses on the cheap, so he probably isn't spending $6000+ for them.
