Just watched some new Zorn videos on youtube of The Dreamers and Electric Masada and I thought I would talk about Trevor. He grooves like a monster and throws a few fills in but isnt scared to just groove the whole time. In Electric Masada and the Zorn project he plays a vintage Precision. Not sure if he uses flats or not and im not completely sure about the amp.

Trevor Dunn

Trevor might be the most underrated bassist on the planet. I've seen him live with Bungle and it floored me.
I've gotta check some of that out. I'm a fan of Dunn's work with Mr Bungle and Fantomas.
His Trio Convulsant disc is pretty intense as well. I recommend that highly. Does anyone know what he's currently up to?
After a lengthy youtube Trevor Dunn freak-out this morning, I have determined I must seek out John Zorn's "Moonchild".
Trevor has just re-vamped his website. www.trevordunn.net
There's a lot of information about his basses (pics included) and gear as well as many other info about his upcoming projects.
His P is strung with Daddario rounds.
As regarding the amp, live with electric basses, he uses his Gallien-Kruger 800RB.

The fact that he could play the verse baseline in Dead Goon is enough for me: guy can play. I need to check out that Zorn DVD, I love his Masada work.
Yea radapaw, California is the stuff! I love their previous two albums, but California is a masterpiece.

Yeah, listening to Disco Volante (and "None of Them Knew They Were Robots") really makes me wish I had a contrabass. He makes everything he plays sound so easy. That "Dead Goon" tab is a perfect example.
I'm surprised he got such a tone out of an Ibanez on Mr. B's self-titled album. He was playing on a proline model. I can barely get a look at one, even through internet searching. What kind of quality were those? Anybody know?

^^^ He played an Ibanez on Mr. Bungle's debut? Huh... I saw them at Maxwell's in Hoboken NJ shortly after that first album was released, and he was sporting an Alembic.

His site indicates that he had a 1987 Ibanez Proline before and during the recording of Mr. Bungle's debut album. After receiving a "nice check from Warner Bros.," he got the custom made 5-string Alembic Europa which was used during the recording of Disco Volante and California. He was present during the wood choosing, as well as suggested that the headstock be reversed for "that Hendrix look." I guess he mostly plays a 1974 or '76 P-bass nowadays. He has a lot of interesting things to say. you should check out his site: www.trevordunn.net

He should be touring with fantomas pretty soon, they're hitting up san fran before they go out to australia to open for Serj Tankian and do the BDO festival
Still waiting on a release of his new "rock" band MadLove. There are a few fuzzy clips on youtube
