    Diary of a Bassist #9: Drummer Redux

    Hey folks, for those new to the diary, I am a middle aged musician enjoying a bit of a musical renaissance, including finally picking up the bass as a secondary instrument. I am learning *pretty* much on the fly, generally gigging either in a duo/trio, and am documenting my gigs with brief...

    How the hell did Alain Caron do that

    This is boggling my mind, I seriously cannot wrap my head around it !! How does he do that ?! At the beginning, when the bass comes in, he does something INSANE with his fingers, can someone explain what's he even doing ? How ? I'm so jealous of the speed and dexterity of this man.

    Bass players are every other musician’s best friend?

    My first teacher told me this at my first lesson and I think they were right. I might be a bit myopic, but in pickup bands I feel like I instantly have to connect on some level with the other instrumentalists to do my job right more than they do with each other. I think we share a lot of...

    Do you seek resistance with your basses?

    Obviously, no one likes basses with horrible playability, but is there such a thing as a bass that's "too playable"?

    Metal Bassists with non-Metal Bass Influences
