I met Mike twice on tour, he spun my stuff on his podcast, he's such a badass man. He was and is untouchable. We were in awe of him walk in man, such a blast but a breeze. I stoppped sending him stuff in Pedro, a few years back. Nick Aguuilar plays drums in a pshych band now, Love Mike Sam dook and all of Melt Banana we hung out. Claim to faaame! God love the Watt. I chickened out on asking him how did he do that fretless thing in Firehose, Chemical Wire... what a trip

Yeah, Mike’s one of a kind! Thanks, Bugman.

Glad to hear you mention humility Mike. It's a tough thing to teach others and a tougher thing to incorporate into our own (bass) lives.

[@ForBassPlayersOnly]

Important point for sure. Thanks.

Watt an amazing person!❤❤❤
I was into bands he was in back in college, but I only recently discovered what he is really all about and have been binging on all possible recordings and interviews nonstop. This was a really great one, thanks so much.
