  • Great podcast

    One not to presenter; it’s disrespectful to say to guest “introduce yourself “. That’s lazy and rude. You should research and give them a warm introduction.

Pops Magellan with The Bass Nerds Podcast
Q: What drew you to bass?
I just felt different. I wanted to play bass, but my dad said to try piano first.
Ellis Hahn - LEH Guitars - The Bass Nerds Podcast
Q: How have you adapted to procuring wood and electronic components with recent supply chain shakeups?
I just changed my ordering to ordering more, assuming things are not going to come in time, as opposed to just ordering as I needed.
Ellis Hahn - LEH Guitars - The Bass Nerds Podcast
Q: What are your thoughts on headstock, neck, and headstock pitch?
Neck pitch is really important and changes the whole right-hand feel fundamentally. It makes the whole bass sing or fail.
Karina Rykman - The Bass Nerds Ep - 016
Q: How do you feel about the jam band scene?
It's cool and open, allowing for eclectic influences and improvisation.
Karina Rykman - The Bass Nerds Ep - 016
Q: What was the transition like when you started playing bass?
It wasn't until I got this gig that changed the course of my life with Marco Benevento that I committed myself to bass.
