In His Own Words, Bill “The Buddha” Dickens: June 2022 Issue
In His Own Words, Bill “The Buddha” Dickens: June 2022 Issue…
If you look up Bill “The Buddha” Dickens on our website you will find that we have been paying close attention to this amazing musician’s work for many years. He graced our special ERB bassist edition, we reviewed his album “Tha Truth” and have been in close contact over the years at NAMM shows.
You might be familiar with his work with Pat Metheny, George Michael, Joe Zawinul, Janet Jackson, Grover Washington, Jr., Chaka Khan, Mary J. Blige, Freddie Hubbard, Al Di Meola, (and many more), as well as his online lessons with TruFire… but there is a much larger story to this artist.
In 2022, Bill is busy as ever with a ton of interesting projects in the works. As a matter of fact, there was so much great content here, we made this a three-part series!
Join me as we talk about Bill’s musical trajectory, his gear, plans for the future and much more.
Here is Bill “The Buddha” Dickens…
Bill’s Special Thanks of Gratitude and Love:

Review: CrystalBright Rombo Picks
CrystalBright Rombo Picks
PR SamplePlaying bass with a pick is still a touchy subject in our community. I believe you should be able to use whatever you need to get your sound. Even though I mostly play with my fingers, I like to check out innovative new picks that might have something new to offer, sonically speaking.
Judith and Carlos from Rombo recently contacted me about a new material called CrystalBright that they have been researching for the last 12 months and offered to send some prototype picks. After trying them out, I put together this video with my findings.

“These stories from the front are with real-life, day-to-day musicians who deal with work life and gigging and how they make it work out. Each month, topics may include… the kind of gigs you get, the money, dealing with less-than-ideal rooms, as well as the gear you need to get the job done… and the list goes on from there.” – Steve the Bass Guy and Shawn Cav
