Bass Player UK  |  June 2015
Summer time, and the living is easy, eh? Well, it is when you get to hang out with bassists of the quality of those in this issue... First up is the amazing Divinity Roxx, a prolific solo artist as well as session ace with the likes of Beyoncé Knowles. Technically astounding as well as a feel player with more groove than a box of 78rpm LPs, Divinity rocked the crowds at the recent London Bass Guitar Show, and her interview will do that all over again when you read it. Hip-hop and funk legend Doug Wimbish, session supremo Lee Sklar and rock monster Merv Goldsworthy also share their wisdom in these hallowed pages, but we like to portray the bass world as an evolving environment away from the studio wherever we can – so we also meet Rob Scallon, Youtube sensation, and Peter Joe Jackson, the Let It Be musical bassist whose McCartney impression is uncanny.
It’s the sheer variety of the bass world which keeps us enthralled, issue after issue, and this continues to be reflected in our reviews section, which runs from a 10-string bass (yep, you read that right) costing almost £3,000 to an effects pedal which will set you back a fraction of that price. The same goes for our renowned tuition section, where professionals from the bass world devote a career’s worth of expertise towards our common goal – making you a better bass player. Enjoy this issue, and stay on the low frequencies!
