In this interview we discuss a myriad of topics including his early influences, tone, Meshell Ndegeocello, his gorgeous sounding Yamaha bass, playing with Mark Guiliana and so much more.

I've been a fan of @DougWimbishBass and @LivingColour since my early teens with 'Stain' being a hugely inspirational and ear opening album for me so getting the chance to sit down with Doug and pick his brains was a really exciting. This interview was recorded after a 2hr masterclass with @willcalhoun98 and Doug still had the graciousness to sit with me for 45mins and answer questions. A true giant of modern electric bass, Doug has been pushing boundaries with his incredible technique and use of FX for over 30yrs not just as part of Living Colour and Tackhead, but on hundreds of albums as a session player including the beginnings of hip hop with Sugarhill Records. Massive shout out and thanks to @cmimusicaudio6455 @basscentre9621 Melbourne, @SpectorBassCom @OfficialSpector @JMCAcademy and @stephenlane6630 for making all this possible.

It's been a while but welcome to last episode of 2020 and I've tried to end this year on a bit of a high note with an epic 3 part episode featuring some of Australia's most prestigous bassists: Roger McLachlan, Craig Newman and Harry Brus. If you've ever watched a TV show with a band, you'll have seen these guys. Heck, if you've ever seen a high profile artist with a 'local' band, it's probably been one of these guys. The audio is ripped from a zoom call that was livestreamed to the Melbourne Bass Players Facebook page during out 2nd lockdown, so the quality isn't amazing but the content is too good not to share. I really hope you enjoy this chat and thanks for listening!…

Queen are rock'n'roll royalty, with an incredible legacy of hit songs and a worldwide fanbase that continues to grow, there seems to no end to their global domination after nearly 40yrs. So when I got the chance to sit down with their bass player Neil Fairclough after an incredible show the previous night, I jumped at the chance. Neil is a consumate professional with an eye for detail and real passion for music, combine that with a typically dry British wit and humbleness and it's no wonder he has held down the low end for one of the biggest bands on the planet for the last 10yrs or so. Massive thanks to Neil for making to the time to chat with me. Follow Neil on Instagram @neilmfairclough…

I was fascinated to find out how Jarman was creating such epic subsonic landscapes with what looked to be a humble jazz bass, enter: The Industrial Radio Pro4. This incredible instrument built in Sydney is one of the finest Midi controller instruments I've ever come across and it was great to see how Jarman really pushes the boundaries with it.

Cornell Williams is one of my favourite 'pocket' style players, in that his time, tone and taste (note choice) are pretty much perfect for the material he is performing, and on the odd occasion when he does step forward he is super lyrical yet still so funky! It was a real pleasure to get to hang and jam with Nell while he was in town with Jon Cleary, I even got to play THAT Modulus, what a bass!

Ep. 33 Evripides Evripidou - Virgil Donati/Frank Gambale/Dave Weckl/Mike Portnoy/Warwick 1:01:45

för 7 years sedan1:01:45

1:01:45

Evripides Evripidou is one of those rare bass players that seems to be able to straddle opposing genres with ease and authenticity. Playing bass for such fusion giants and Virgil Donati, Dave Weckl and Frank Gambale would be enough to catapult any bass player into the history books, but Evri has neither rested on his laurels or adhered to the stereo types associated with such complex music and has continued to forge his own musical and dare I say spiritual path on the bass. It was a privilege to chat with Evri about his bass journey and his approach to improvisation, education and tone. Check out our jam here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcoXJ_NNFYo…

Chicago native Michael Manson has filled the bass chair for some of the top names in jazz and gospel music such as George Duke, Larry Carlton and Kirk Whalum. I caught up with him while he was in town with Jeff Lorber Fusion and we chatted about what it takes to be prepared for a high profile gig like that as well as the importance of developing your own voice on the instrument, his classical upbringing and his solo career.

If you've ever trawled YouTube for bass gear demos (and let's face it, who hasn't), chances are you've come across Gregor Fris's 'Bass The World' YouTube Channel which will have exposed to the immense bass playing of René Flächsenhaar. After watching a few videos of René playing numerous exotic basses, I was struck by the depth and variety of grooves he could demonstrate with seemingly effortless ease. I reached out to René during my recent trip to Europe and we caught up at local music school/studio/store Noisy Rooms in René's current home of Berlin, Germany. During our chat we discuss René's bass journey, his influnces, what it takes to be a working musician, gear and what it's like to be a YouTube star ;) Be sure to check out his YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd0tUZ-T7QSGdq0jdiKby_A As well as Bass The World: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXvoRZ4JQezyPxWtUZ9QmWg Noisy Rooms: https://noisy-musicworld.com/rooms/en/ Bass Lessons Melbourne: http://www.basslessonsmelbourne.com FB http://www.facebook.com/bassguitarlessonsmelbourne…
