  • How do you carve your own path as a bass player?
    In this first-time collaboration, music icons and Dunlop Bass Strings artists Marcus Miller and Robert Trujillo get together to talk about how they came to be who they are as musicians. Discover the influences they share and how they’ve used the pivotal lessons they've learned to establish their own unique “voices” as bass players. After that, Marcus and Robert ditch the stools for a killer jam session featuring Rage Against the Machine’s Brad Wilk on drums.

    How crazy is that now? I started playing bass in 1992 because of these two heroes. I saw Robert live with Suicidal in Munich in 1992 and a week later I had a bass. I was 15 and thought that something incredible had been revealed to me.

      You described my story exactly! Played guitar my whole life, then in my 40s a friend of mine found a (basically brand new) 4 string at the curb on garbage day and gave it to me. I couldn't put it down!

      That's kinda my story too. Learned classical und folk guitar as a child, then switched to electric guitar as a teen and played in a band a couple of years. Then life happened, university, marriage, kids and there wasn't a lot of time for the guitar which was okay.
      Then I was asked to join a band with multiple singers and maybe play guitar. But there was a really great guitarist from the US, we really didn't need me on guitar. But singing kinda wasn't enough so I thought, maybe try bass guitar. I bought a cheap but good bass and I completely switched my role as a musician and fell in love with the bass. So I kept on going and found my dream bass.
      Now I identify as a bassist who happens to also plays guitar sometimes. 😁

    Awesome. Awesome . Awesome. For all of those dudes who love that Larry Graham “Hair” song, which of course is ridiculously funkety, funkety, check out Darryl Geniffer from Bad Brains on their cover of the same song. His intro has got to be one of the top five funky bass intros that you wanna just rewind and hear again and again, and then after that, just one more time. And then try to figure out every nuance and inflection that gave that part, and EVERY part of every song you like, that THING you like. Two of those countless “things” are groove and tone.
