Mike Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Hi guys - not sure if this has been posted yet - I couldn't find it, if it has. Jeff Berlin went on Talkbass to field some questions. I think a lot of interesting ideas and useful stuff came out of this. [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=505003"]Link is here.[/url] Sorry if it's a double-post! Regards Mike Quote

I always loved Jeff's columns in Bass Player, and quite often agreed with what he had to say. His playing might not be to everyone's tastes, but he sure knows what he's talking about. Stu Quote

Kiwi Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Jeff has approached us as well through Funkle, so stay tuned while we work something out. Quote

Ever had anything like that before on Basschat? Just finished going through the massive Berlin Q&A Talkbass thread. Some interesting stuff in there about practising (quality over quantity) and learning (get a general music teacher, not instrument specific). Quote
BigBeefChief Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I look forward to asking him a question. Quote

Hopefully it will stir up some interest though and who knows, we might be able to do it with other bass maestros as well. Whether the questions are subject to prior approval depends on whether we feel there's a risk that someone is going to be insulting to him or not. Quote
Buzz Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 If Jeff Berlin does appear on here, I hope it won't be a repeat of the last incident where a professional came on here. Quote

Must have missed something, I'm sure I had a pm from not too long ago. Edit: Doh. PM was from Stu Clayton not Steve. Forget it, nothing to see here.... Edited April 1, 2009 by SteveO Quote
The Funk Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Something happened with Steve Lawson? I remember him posting for a while at one point. I remember the Janek Gwizdala incident. That was a real shame. You might not like him as a composer or even as a person but he's a good bass player and one of the few Brits making a name for himself in the jazz session scene in America. He could have been a great resource. Quote
ARGH Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 In a nutshell...Janick said we were not good enough to comment upon Jacos playing,and Steve was called a smug self marketing c***.... In a nutshell Quote

Anyways, insulting people spoils it for those who have a genuine and serious interest in understanding what these people have to say, regardless of whether they agree with it or not. That doesn't impose a requirement on everyone to suck up but chips-on-shoulders won't be welcome either. Quote

Wasn't he going on about how much he hated writing about music, whilst writing on a bass forum, whilst writing articles for BGM? The trouble with these "stars" is that they're a bit highly strung.
