      @@michael1783 30 minutes per day is a good amount of practice time, 2 hours is pushing it as I don't believe in practicing to the point of pain. A short session each day is more than sufficient to keep my playing sharp especially as I've got bass tracking with my band coming up and I need to keep the songs fresh in my mind

    Josh obviously isn't shrouded in anonymity, but he is absolutely our Stig. Lets his craft do all the talking; doesn't need to be a talking head, cracking jokes or reviewing gear. He is the distilled essence of metal bass mastery. The Beast. Thunderfingers. I am proud to call this man my friend and colleague.
