So good to see you/hear you in this video Missy! I appreciate that you credit the "early" bass players for their influence on your playing, as well as acknowledge the up and comers of today. Your work is simply amazing. Blessings on ya!
Well done Geoff, perfectly pitched warm and respectful interview with a legend of Bluegrass bass. Thank you too for pointing me towards 'Lake Street Dive' - this phenomenal band have been touring and recording for almost two decades - completely beneath my radar..! Vocalist Rachael Price... and the huge sound of Bridget Kearney on bass ... I'm just blown away.
Her bass sounds like a carved bass. I’m amazed how great the hybrid basses sound. One of the great luthier’s works out of his shop in Greensboro, Bob’s Bass Shop. He had me play a bass that belonged to the guy that owns acoustic image. It was a $12k bass. The guy that plays with the punch brother’s is included in her material with artist works. Great bowing technique explained there.
Yes, I love ply and hybrid basses and Missy's bass sounded incredible. Paul Kowart is incredible too! So many great things happening in the world of bluegrass.
love it like every time. But you were to fascinated about the mic setup so you forget to get an answer about the second part of the question about the strings ;-)
😂 You're right! I completely forgot. Does anyone here know what strings Missy is using? They might be Zyex, but I can't remember. Whatever they are Missy gets a gorgeous sound from them.
