Depends on what's called for... Bootsy, Geezer, "Family Man," Jack Bruce, Paul McCartney, Larry Graham, John Paul Jones, Jerry Jemmott, James Jamerson, Ray Brown, Milt Hinton, Rocco Prestia...... and the mixing of all these influences and many more.... but it depends on the gig.
BASSES LOADED is all about the electric bass, how it is played and the people who play it. BASSES LOADED is ALSO an electric bass instructional series written by Rod Goelz. Rod has been teaching the electric bass for 18 years. He has conducted clinics and workshops, covering a wide variety of subjects relevant to the electric bass player. Many students over the years have asked him to write a book that outlines his approach to learning the instrument, and at long last he has, BASSES LOADED series. COMING SOON!!! BASSES LOADED (Volume 5): FUNK BASS!!!! Due out in early 2008.
