A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.

Guitar is for the head, drums are for the chest, but bass gets you in the groin

Down in devil gate drive. I led the angel pack on the road to sin. Knock down the gates, let me in.

The bass and drums are the engine, and the key to good bass playing is it's not what you play, it's what you DON'T play that counts. You leave the spaces, they're more important than anything.

I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar.

Shame on those artists who aren't proud of their achievements.

I made up my mind that I was going to be just like Elvis. It never occurred to me that Elvis was a man. I just wanted to be him. He had a huge impact on me, right down to that black leather jumpsuit he wore on the 68 Comeback Special.
