I Like To Practice On The Bass,

And The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth.

It's A Battle Between Record Company, Between Producer And Between Mastering Engineer. Because The Louder You Make Your Record In A Digital Process, The More Dynamics Are Squished Out Of It. Nobody Knows Exactly What Happens, But The Dynamics In The Performance Disappear, And Everything Is At The Same Volume.

I Do Love Using Keyboards And I Love Writing Keyboard Parts, But I Am Not A Player In The True Sense Of The Word.

If You Have Some Magical Chemistry That Actually Find The Music You Make Compelling, That Is A Big Bonus.

I'm Always Scouring The Universe For Great Old Instruments From The '50s And Early '60s. That's Really, For Me, The Golden Age Of Basses, When They Had Just Been Invented Within 10 Years Of That Period And They Had Just Started To Come Into Their Own, Especially The Old Fender Jazz Basses And Old Rickenbackers And Gibsons. I'm Always On The Lookout. It's Fun.
