One of my big bass inspirations. Super underrated player.

“Is it cool?”
“Yeah it’s like playing guitar....but lower.”

This guy is one of my favorite Bass players.

"Its just saying words"
I think Bender has the comedy in this band

[@jamil2481]

just quietly...the part where pez had to play what u can hear at 1:37 and wigged out and couldn't remember and we tried it about 12 times and then bender came out of the control room to yell "just fuckin get it right". thoroughly good times

[@1AAudits]

Mr. Bender, whst is your go-to bass and/or your bass of choice?

[@AGilbii]

I can't answer what his go-to is, but his Tiny Desk Concert bass is a $12,000 Rizzolo 6 string bass.

Sorry, I know it's quite off topic :) but could any kind of collab with Paul Bender from Hiatus Kaiyote and Jonny Lieberman from Motor Trend possibly ever happen? I'd just love to see them together on one screen... Terrific sound, band and approach by the way - keep it up!
