Bass Player Interviews

Welcome to this collection of conversations with some of the most influential bass players in the world.
Since 2009, I’ve had the privilege of sitting down with bassists from every corner of the music world — legends, innovators, session players, bandleaders, and players whose work you’ve heard far more than you realize. What started as a simple idea has grown into an archive of over 900 interviews, covering not just technique and gear, but musical thinking, instincts, and real-world experience.
