[CarmelinoElClasico]

..Uriah Duffy is watching too ;)

[RageicaNiels]

Wich bass is Nathan using?

[vadesdecero]

@RageicaNiels Its his Yamaha signature.

[RageicaNiels]

@vadesdecero his Yamaha signature model is white and has a different headstock. maybe its a new signature bass he made. but dont think its from yamaha

[spider5604]

East of course is a great player, but young solo player like Feraud and Doug Johns make NAMM

a tough place for the old schoolers to perform.

[adriank9]

@spider5604 None of those you mantioned have that bass touch as East having if we talking about songs, he is the man of music industry

[toofpick151]

@spider5604 I love Doug Johns. Personally, I'd prefer to listen to Nathan over Feraud anyday.

[bigwm]

@spider5604 It depends how you look it. There are a lot of guys with chops, then there are guys like Nathan who have made they're career as top sidemen of which he undoubtedly is. He may not have Hadrien's chops, but who does? Nathan is a pro's pro and crafting a part for a pop tune thats melodic yet understated takes a great deal of musicianship. I can assure you Nathan has and will appear on many more recordings than Hadrien or a great deal of the chopsters at the NAMM show.

[bigwm]

@bigwm This is in no way a diss at guys like Hadrien, I'm a huge fan of their playing and strive for it myself. I guess my point is it's a shame someone without mega chops but KNOWS how to PLAY great bass can't be fully appreciated at the NAMM show.

[RageicaNiels]

[canvoodoo]

@RageicaNiels Dont talk nonsense

[adriank9]

@RageicaNiels I wish I was mulatto :)
