Bass Magazine For Bass Players & the Bass Industry
The Many Colors of Bass… First of all, we are incredibly privileged to have veteran bassist Hutch Hutchinson gracing this month’s cover… if anyone understands the ‘many colors of bass’, it is Hutch, and Rick Suchow has done a stellar job in capturing his talent in this month’s interview. Second, over the last month I have [...]
As I sit here writing and looking out my window at a cold, rainy Northwest afternoon, I think of spring as a time for all things new and fresh. Hopefully you have noticed that we here at Bass Musician Magazine have been continuously working at making our site the very best it can be and [...]
Spend a couple of days at a NAMM Show and you might come to the conclusion that life is simply a whirlwind of constant activity; consider the frenzy of musicians, scheduled & impromptu performances, merchants, support staff and general public and what else could you think? Hopefully our NAMM coverage in the February issue has [...]
I wish I could accurately share the extraordinary experience that we have been privileged to enjoy in Winter NAMM 2012. Anything I can say would fall short of describing this mega-event of the music world.

As we start the New Year, I want to take a moment to contemplate our journey and thank all those who have made it possible. I must first take a moment to bid a fond farewell to Jake Kot… Editor, teacher and friend. As Jake engages his new ventures, all of us here at Bass [...]

A few players recently went to my blog at neoCreativity.com and got back to me on my most recent subject matter with some comments and interesting questions. I decided to follow up on a couple of requests, or better said suggestions that I put this article up in the mag. I was moved that people [...]
Last issue I brought up the subject of looking outside of our industry specialists as a way to gain new insight to a problem, and the problem I was addressing was the ongoing what can/should I do to keep my musical endeavors my “vocation”, specifically, what should I be focusing on beyond my immediate skills [...]
In this issue’s interview with Cheikh Ndoye, I spent some time getting his opinions on what he felt were the necessary steps to be aware of (beyond his immediate skills on his instrument) for getting ahead in the business. No matter how old this subject is, or how many times it’s been talked about, it’s [...]
What came to mind for me immediately when I considered writing to this auspicious occasion for the magazine was the thought, “You should all be lucky enough to be in my shoes.” I’ve literally lost count on the amount of interviews I’ve done over the past four years, but I can tell you that every [...]
