Recommended Posts

your web is just insanely cool. I read all articles in Signal Chain Bassics, now I read Interviews and it is so much inspiration to see what are those players using, HOW are they getting their ideas through effects out. great work!
to be honest, I wasn´t very much into effects at all, but when I look back, it all started for me when I saw Doug Wimbish with Living Colour, and then again, also with Junglefunk and HeadFake. Than Justin Chancelor, than Juan and now I´m reading your great articles and think about music and effects different. great great inspiration.

Thanks dude, it means a lot. Knowing people really dig the info on the blog keeps me going!

I have another Signal Chain Bassics post in the works at the mo, but struggling to have time to get in done in full. There are at least 3 other parts of that series to come.

I will be starting another series of interviews to run alongside my 'Interviews about effects' series over the coming months, looking at luthiers and preamp makers, discussin inspirations an tone instead of effects. The effect interviews will continue still as well, but I have a few guys on board for this series too...

After a nice Christmas break I'm hitting the interviews full force. Here is the 1st of 2013...

Jimmy Bridges is the bass, synth, electronics & all-round low-end noise monger for London Post Rock legends UpCDownC.

Unlike many of the people I have interviewed, Jimmy does not have a huge pedal set up, though he does have access to an equally complex sounding range of tones, opting instead of a range of Synth and software items to compliment the core of his bass tones.

Check out what Jimmy has to say about his gear and his sound...

Yeah dude. Cool bunch of guys and they were stunning when we played in Antwerp. They opened the night and were NOT an easy act to follow!!

Nathan Latona is the low-end man from Sacramento prog' legends Tera Melos.

Tera Melos bring the noise. Every show, every record, every track. They produce a sonic assault on the senses and Nathan's grinding bass is the backbone to this tour-de-force. Tera Melos have a reputation of touring. They gig constantly all over the world taking their unique progressive sounds to more venues each year than most of us can even imagine possible. If you've seen them live then you'll know that Nathan's live bass tone is something of pure brutal genius.

Just read your Nathan Latona interview Shep. Good stuff dude :) It's cool to read about some of the ideas behind his sound as Tera Melos seem to have a pretty unique approach to music.

Thanks dude. Yeah, that certainly have something special going on.

I aim to do a similar interview with Nick as well later in the year.

That would be an interesting read. I'm gonna have to give Drugs To The Dear Youth a listen now with all this Tera Melos talk :D[size=4] [/size]

I present to you Dub-bass legend, Stu Brooks...

Stu is best known for his work with New York heavy-hitters Dub Trio. Dub Trio have carved a place for themselves not only as a band in their own right, but also as the backing on tour for acts such as Mike Patton and his Peeping Tom outfit & Matisyahu. Stu's bass-heavy dub style has also earned him the spot laying down lines for the likes of 50 Cent, Lady Gaga, Pretty Lights & Tony Yayo to name but a few.

Check out what Stu has to say about his awesome set up and monstrous sound...

I feel very privileged to be able to present to you the awesome Jon Stockman of Karnivool!

Karnivool is a band I have loved for some years now so when Jon agreed to an interview I was pretty excited! Jon's dirt tones have been discussed on just about every online bass forum I've ever visited and phone camera pics of his set up crop up on pedalboard discussion threads everywhere. I thought it was time to get the details straight from the man himself!

what a great read, excellent! I was talking to him about his pedals outside a gig in Manchester but was too drunk... He said to me he was using the Bass XXL (the purple one) but I can't see it in your pics and you call it "Tech 21 XXL" - can you confirm which one he's using?
