Good bass tone here

Just got round to reading this month's issue.

It seems he is a pretty well respected player and surprisingly well known too then:



Quotes:

"Is this man the most advanced bass player in the world"

"The busiest bassist on planet earth"

He's made a few other covers too, including no less than three times on the biggest selling bass mag in the world - Bass Player!

You may find that not every bass player reads that mag, or any others, same as every playstation or xbox owner doesn't buy or read their respective publications.

Remember John Hall once said, BC represents 1% of the bass playing populous in the UK. Or some other BS.

I don't particularly like Mr Big or Billys tone and certainly don't like watching his soloing , but I've got to admit watching interviews with him on YouTube he's a very interesting bloke and some of his bass lessons are very useful indeed. I've got a lot of good information from watching him and like the way he talks about his methods of set up. He seems a very down to earth guy too.

Disappointing that they don't ask Billy to elaborate on the recent, albeit, short lived modification he made to his bass, by adding a piece of plastic below the P pickup. This is clearly visible in the photos. No questions about future Mr. Big plans either. Also the magazine seems to follow the old Guitarist Magazine habit of using several, very similar photos from the same session, which makes for a rather boring presentation.

I didn't think anyone read play station or xbox magazines - aren't they too busy playing games all the time

Did John Hall say it or sing it?

PS. I see Billy S has made the cover of this month's Bass Player again - that boy certainly gets around!

A huge part of billy,s tone(apart from his hands and attitude bassse) is the Pearce BC-1 pre amp. These things are amazing. You can get close to the tone with his EBS pedal but it's not quite there. But Billy is using one on the Winery Dog's tour to keep the rig smaller(keep touring costs of a small band down)

Same as. Really well crafted catchy songs.

Just checked them out on youtube, think might well have to get that cd.

Had the album a while, got some good stuff on it and holds up well as a collection of songs. Didn't even know Kotzen could sing!
