Bass Player UK  |  Jul-16 132
Whatever your preferred style of bass playing, you owe a debt to the great Stanley Clarke, who is most famous for his jazz bass explorations but whose importance in our world can’t be summed up in a single genre tag. We could have filled this entire issue with tales of his greatness when it comes to the low frequencies: it’s a genuine privilege to have him back on our cover, his first since BGM 31 back in 2007. Elsewhere in this issue we’re also treated to a chat with the equally veteran Lee Sklar, perhaps the most fêted session and stage bassist ever, and the mighty Martin ‘Youth’ Glover, most famous for his bass and production work with Killing Joke, the Orb and up-and-coming bass newcomer Paul McCartney. New (or new-ish) virtuosos from the bass scene appear in the form of Chris Kael and Mike D’Antonio of Five Finger Death Punch and Killswitch Engage, while Lemmy’s tech Steve Luna pops up to raise a glass to his late employer.
As always, our reviews section is a feast for the eyes and a threat to the wallet, not least with the incredible gold leaf Torun 5 which will set you back no less than £8,500. And BGM wouldn’t be what it is without our world-class education section, where we aim to make you the best bassist you can be regardless of ability. Here comes the summer: let’s make it a bass-heavy one!
