Faithless Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Here's the [url="http://www.stuartzender.net/pressarchive/bass_guitar_magazine_issue_37_2008.pdf"]link[/url] to PDF version of the thing... Btw, he started using Gibson Les Paul. At least, it fits his wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Interesting. I've never read an interview with him before. I'd always assumed he'd be a bit of a twat, I suppose because Jay Kay is such a twat. Nice to see that he really isn't. That LP bass though - what is he thinking?

Higgie Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Stuart is one of the humblest guys out there - Jay Kay was the knob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 back in Jamiroquai days he might have had a bit of an ego- in a Bassist interview from back then he said that "Bernard Edwards wasn't the tightest player", which surprised me as I've never thought of 'Nard as a sloppy player.

SJA Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 ps. the bit about being in "a crap punk band with NME journalists" before Jamiroquai is a surprise- in the Jamiroquai-era interviews he said he was touring playing with a circus, Archaos or something! I guess you have to bend the truth sometimes.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I love the guy, what a player, i also like Jay Kay. Just because they dont get along doesnt mean one of them has got to be a twat!. I have to say the descision on the LP Bass is a surprise, but my Local shop have this bad boy in[attachment=10412:3149_large_2.jpg] It is a full on Gibo and with the barts in it it sounds amazing. A bit pricey for me at £800 ish but if it was a slightly more resonable price I would have it in a second. Mind you they also have a used Goodfellow Spitfire which shits all over it but that is the best part of 2K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 he's less than complimentary about this interview on his myspace blog- [url="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=62717976&blogID=413882144"]http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...logID=413882144[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interviewers in BGM have a long way to go before they produce articles anywhere near the quality of BP's. I bought an issue of BGM about a year ago and noticed that the most common interview question was "do you prefer 4 or 5 strings"? Why not ask them their shoe size whilst they're at it... Also all the technical info is even more inaccurate than that produced by BP. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) ps. check out the header on his myspace - "BASS GUITAR MAGAZINE IS RUBBISH!" ouch! have to say i haven't bought it in a long time. too many recurring topics and interview subjects.

gilmour Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I haven't bought any bass magazines for ages, it just feels like I'm paying for a magazine full of adverts, occasionally interupted by the odd article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I've always liked Zender's playing, and I know he has a lot of fans here, but he comes across like a spoilt brat in that blog. OK, the interview didn't include stuff he was hoping would be in their way, and he doesn't seem to have got on with the interviewer, but he has got several pages worth of publicity in a national magazine out of it. His rant about the cover artist, right or wrong, does seem to have an air of jealousy to it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yes - a rather silly response in my opinion. Did he not look at the magazine before agreeing to an interview? I have personally not paid any attention to bass mags since I started on Bassworld back in about 1998! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i have seen michelle ndnedgsgsgsgceollo using one of those les paul basses befor,i dont think they look very funky though,Zender writes very good basslines i think there first album is the best music of the mind,and blow your mind were well fluffy.he also has the same birthday as me which i was quite pleased about.

stingrayfan Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Thought the interview was fine. He's famous for being ex-Jamiroquai, so the interview's bound to focus on that rather than blather on about his new album. He should have been on the cover though.

The spitfire used to belong to the Guy that runs the shop, Mark Howell. He also has a Jazz Bass from the first month of production and uses EBS amplifiers. He's got a fair bit of gear! And is probably the best bassist i've heard. Anyhow, the gibson in there does look the dogs danglies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
