Bass Player UK  |  84 November 2012
You may love slap bass. You may hate it. Either way, you can’t ignore it, and over his long career BGM 84's cover star Mark King of Level 42 has elevated slap to stratospheric heights, scoring a catalogue of hits along the way. Elsewhere in this issue we meet Peter Hook, sometime of Joy Division and New Order, who talks about his new book and the gear that made him famous; John Wetton, who has played in more supergroups than you’ve changed strings; and Ashdown founder Mark Gooday, who takes us into Ashdown HQ for a chat about how his amps became industry icons. As well as these close encounters with the great and the good of the bass world, this issue shoots both barrels when it comes to bass reviews and techniques. For a few issues now we’ve been making a deliberate attempt to balance low-budget gear with high-spec equipment, and beginner’s education with expert masterclasses – and in this issue we think we’ve hit the perfect spectrum of coverage. Enjoy!
