Bass Player UK  |  May-16
Heavy metal just ain’t what it used to be – that is to say tinny, silly and preoccupied rather too much with loincloths. No, your modern metal is a serious form of musical expression, and it doesn’t get more serious than Slipknot, masked harbingers of doom from Iowa whose new bass player Alex ‘V-Man’ Venturella gets his first solo magazine cover this month. If you thought playing fiendishly twisty pick lines in front of stadiums packed with shrieking crowds was tough, try doing it wearing a mask that barely reveals your eyes. Somehow, Alex manages to deliver the goods on his Status Graphite bass, night after night: read and learn.
Elsewhere in this frankly killer issue of BGM we meet a record number of bass players, from Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam and Chuck Garric of Alice Cooper to Jerry Scheff of up-and-coming rock’n’roll hopeful Elvis Presley and beyond. We turn our attention to a range of new and exciting bass gear from PRS, Stonefield, Breedlove, Peavey and Aguilar, meet a host of new bass players in Bassically Speaking, debut a new Luthier column from Eve Guitars’ head honcho Douglas Mullen and take a look at life in the bass trenches with our acclaimed Front Line section. And that’s before we even get to the tuition section, a world-beating eight-lesson virtual school of bass that has just one aim: to make you the bass player you’ve always wanted to be. Get to it, and we’ll see you in June!
