Bass Quotes:
Tunning down to D and using drop C tuning have pushed the bass player to new levels of heavy and soft. Our metaphorical 'feather'
is as brutal as our 'hammer' is beautiful, he keeps saying....
Truly inspirational

Truly inspirational
The bass should create a fusion between the energy of the drums and the
emotion of the melody....
Every note like it's your last. Hold nothing back, leave it on the stage.
I used to be a drummer but guys like Chris John forced me to rethink it.
Bass's are easier to gig with anyway.
