This is a very good interview. Doug's mastery over the bass is otherworldly. Had the pleasure of meeting him & the other members of Living Colour @ a gig they played in 2017 @ The Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes, England.

Saw Doug with Tackhead around 37 years ago in Manchester ... opened my eyes to the possibilities of what could be done on bass ...been a fan ever since !

[@jefft5854]

Loved the interview. Honestly, this is probably one of the first vids on this channel that I've watched all the way through. No shade, just that excited about Doug Wimbish and the interview was excellent.

[@thebatman2647]

The pickups are always mentioned on his bases but I really want to know what the electronics are inside it.

The bass player & drummer make or break a performance/recording. This fellow must charge by the minute for his services.
