Graham Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 This is terrible news, really hope he pulls through and his family can get the support they need. I adore his playing with The Mars Volta, his performance on Frances The Mute particularly had a big impact on my development as a bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I read it on his Instagram page yesterday. Seriously bad news. I met him two years ago after a Marilyn Manson concert. Absolutely fantastic bass player (I lóve his playing in The Mars Volta) and an incredibly nice guy. Hope he'll recover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Awful news. Big MV fan and have seen him play a few times and been suitably impressed. Hoping he can make a full recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbasspecial Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 He's been around for years. Used to play in Racer X with Paul Gilbert. Seems like a really good guy and a decent player. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toneknob Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Juan is awesome, hope he pulls through. Seen him a bunch of times with The Mars Volta. Got to meet him at an Earthquaker demo at Wunjo, where he was gracious and humble towards a fan's gushing over the intro to Day Of The Baphomets (me). Also his pedalsandeffects.com site is hugely helpful in directing my effects research/spends. Edited January 27, 2020 by toneknob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
