Bass Player US - August 2015

Bu sayıda

With their 17th studio album, Rock or Bust, rocketing to #1--and a world tour underway--AC/DC is back on top and firmly in charge. We check in with bassist Cliff Williams for a rare perspective on the creation of the new record and a look back at the band’s high-wattage history. Plus, Ben Kenney discusses the new Incubus EP, Muscle Shoals legend David Hood talks about life on the road with the Waterboys, and Hiatus Kaiyote low ender Paul Bender dishes on his role in the nimble neo-soul quartet. On the gear side, we check out the Brubaker JXB Standard 5-string, the G&L MJ5, and the new LaBella Olinto P-basses. To cap things off, we ease back to the ’70s with Miles Davis and Stevie Wonder bass legend Michael Henderson for a transcription of his haunting ostinato on Norman Connors’ bass’n’vocal soul smash “You Are My Starship.”
