Yes, by far the best one. Didn't know much about Nate Mendel but an articulate and interesting chap.

Who is the dude with the steinberger who appears in the intro? Does he even appear across the three programmes? I thought it was jazz bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma but maybe too young? 🤔 

 

He appeared in the first episode talking about reggae bass.

I thought there were a few reggae bassists 😁

 

Notably "the dude with the Steinberger" and Glen Browne with the five-string (I don't know him, I just made a note of his name).

 

The third episode was far and away the best. If the best snippets from the first two episodes (Glen Matlock on the Anarchy in the UK bassline in the first episode and a couple of other bits, the bit on slap and on singing when playing bass from the second episode) were shoehorned into the third episode, you could chuck away all the rest.
