The 80's Bass Decade!

[Chris Maury]

Fast paced, fun video reviewing why the 80's were so special for bass players. The gear, the players, the innovations and SO MUCH more!

 

This video provides a wide overview of the experience in the U.S. with LOTS of U.K. crossover - Mark King, Pino Palladino, Wal, Status, Trace Elliot, The Bass Centre, etc. Enjoy the memories!

This is a great video and a nostalgic jaunt into our collective past (for those of us who were teenagers in the 80s!) - I was chatting with Chris on the Brooksy's Bass Corner Live Chat a few weeks ago, and he's certainly a mind of information on bass world, having previously run the Bass Centre LA.

 

Highly recommended viewing material!

I'll watch it this arvo after Church, but I never left the 80s. My XL2 is still my favourite bass with the Status S2000 and Kubicki not far behind - they just need more stings for what I actually do these days. An 80s Hohner B2V helps take up some of that slack.

I also has a Tune Bass Manic which I think is the ergonomic spiritual successor to the Ibanez SRs which today are my main players.

 

My main guitar is also an 80's Daion and I have another 80s one incoming which I'll post when I get it.

very good. The decade I took up the bass. I remember lots of that gear coming out, it was an amazing time

I got my L2 Steinberger in the early 1990's - I thought I had made it!!!
