“Be a good person.” He says it twice. I always told my students that the #1 rule of gigging is “always be nice.” I love that he carries this mantra. Such an amazing person and such an amazing interview. Thank you all!
I'm so glad Chris is getting the recognition he deserves finally! We played together in high school (Hey Chris! THC! Tam! Mr Greenwood! Woo!) and he is a great guy, tasty player, and exemplary collaborator.
I love that this interview exists and that Chris is getting recognition. I grew up a huge fan of Eric Avery and he had a big impact on my own playing so when Chaney joined Jane’s I was apprehensive but so pleasantly surprised. He ticked the Eric A vibe box but still put his own slant on Jane’s that was a bit grittier and one I really enjoy. When I saw him play in the early otts with Panic Chanel at The Fine Line I was sold (rocking those Aguilar heads and cabinets). Such a talent but great to see he’s humble, too.
I'm embarrassed to admit that but I never heard about Chris before.. So glad this channel is bringing such legends to public attention. Great guy and a great player as well. I wish he'd got more recognition.
Chris is a professional in all the word sense, a Rock Star of electric bass without a doubt. From the times of Alanis’ tour over there in the 90’s.🎸✅🎧👍
I play with the "invisible pick" as well. If you're not familiar than hold a pick like normal then pull it out with your other hand keeping your fingers if holding the pick. Then play with the side of your thump, not your nail, as if holding a pick.
This is a great Interview, one thing he mentioned was very cool to hear. He was talking about Taylor Hawkins playing with a few people I used to see at the Studio Cafe', Balboa. This was in around 86 or so. He mentioned a guitar player named Gannon Arnold, he was a young good player at the time. The guys he played with were good, loved the Bass player, Melvin Davis. They were always on Thursday. Tuesday, John Pattitucci was there, I was lucky to have such good talent to see without a hassle. Loved seeing Melvin in "Coming to America", Sexual Chocolate.
My band in LA opened for Camp Freddy a few times at the Roxy. Someone stole a few items that I set down onstage right in front of me when I wasn’t looking. Crazy that that was a thing…
What a phenomenal conversation. I'd love for ya'll to connect with Sarah Lee - another one of those players who just kept popping up in band after band
Sold my ‘75 Guild M85ii cos I wasn’t working immediately after Covid. Immediate sellers remorse. Unbelievable piece of kit. Had a set of unused 70’s half-flats in the case when I first bought it, which I put on it. Dammit.
Such an amazing interview with Chris Chaney. Thank you for highlighting and introducing us to him. I am a fan and so impressed by his humility, his generosity of time and energy. His style is amazing but even more is his character. He is an unsung legend of the bass community.
YES! My 16 year old self is leaping with joy! Chris’ name was on every album I owned back in the day. ‘Strays’ was one of those albums that kicked my backside into learning to play with a pick every time I picked my bass up. Thank you guys so much for sharing this 😊🙏
Chris Chaney is a Fckn Sweetheart!! Known him for 30 odd yrs…Underrated like so many others!!
Rex brown PJ pickup and preamp in my 71 P bass "with a jazz bridge pickup" is the best thing ever ..... thank you
hey man love your body of work, always a big fan
Just curious.. did you ever get that 5 minutes alone?
“Be a good person.” He says it twice. I always told my students that the #1 rule of gigging is “always be nice.” I love that he carries this mantra. Such an amazing person and such an amazing interview. Thank you all!
did you catch timestamps each time?
Holy freakin moly please get more players of this era on the show PLEASE! I could listen to Chris ALL DAY. Killed it. Another great episode.
I'm so glad Chris is getting the recognition he deserves finally! We played together in high school (Hey Chris! THC! Tam! Mr Greenwood! Woo!) and he is a great guy, tasty player, and exemplary collaborator.
What a great guy, humble, creative, and full of awesome stories and wisdom
💯💯💯

I absolutely loved his work on Jane's Addiction's Strays. Brutal tone and outstanding playing. The man is utterly solid.

I just love Chris Chaney. Thanks for a Great interview 🙌
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I love how personable this conversation was, what a bunch of legends!
I have a DB359, DB659, DB680, and a DB728 that I love and have owned since the late 90's, early 20's. I love the early Aguilar all-tube gear.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
🔥🔥🔥
What a great interview, and what a humble, amazingly talented human being.
🧡🧡🧡
Thanks Ian & Shaz & of course Chris ! Wow, Chris is such a lovely, humble guy & consummate, encyclopedic, talented bassist ! Great interview !
Great interview folks! Class act. I loved "just be a good person". Chris Chaney is the man.
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, be a good person is excellent advice!
Wonderful interview! Chris is such an amazing guy, and sneakily prolific. Thank you!

Need a Bass Tales with Chris!
Yes!!

This is so good. Chris Channy is a bass god and complete gentleman. 🙌
💯💯💯
Terrific interview. Really enjoyed it. Thanks to the three of you.
thank you so much for doing all these amazing interviews !!!!!!!! sending much respect & love from Tokyo
Cheers, glad you're enjoying them!!
Bob Daisley!! You don't hear many people reference him, would LOVE to see him interviewed. Chaney is such a beast of a player.
Much respect Mr. Chaney! Great bassist
🧡🧡🧡
that was great, thank you guys!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jane's is one of my favorites of all time. I seen them with Chris like 10xs.
Chaney’s tone all across the ‘Strays’ album is just so on point it hurts. It’s THE rock P Bass tone!
🔥🔥🔥
I saw Chris Chaney with Janes Addiction in Paradiso, Amsterdam ages ago, what a concert!
🔥🔥🔥
Chris is so grounded and such a kind and gentle human being. I love him.
Should fit perfectly into AC/DC
What a superb musician and what a superb career he has had!
Dang, that Bottle it Up Is a jam
One of my all time favorites. Guy is killer.
So Enjoyable, Thank You!
Great episode guys! 👏 👍🏻
He must be the sweetest guy in the business! I had an instant man-crush after seeing this interview!
I need to see the collection of basses
Great interview. Chris Chaney is the best
Great interview. Loved it!!
I like her questions the best!😀

Top video. Greetz from the Netherlands. Chris is a fantastic bass player 💪💪💪🎶
born same year as me holy fuck this guys insane
PLEASE consider doing these interviews with international bass players, for example from Brasil!
What a nice genuine person and obviously a great musician.
None of that fake LA rockstar attitude
First episode i’ve watched from start to finish.
That was fabulous!! Thx u!
great guy one of the best interviews ever awesome 👏 👏 🤩 🤩 🤩
🧡🧡🧡
What a great interview
🧡🧡🧡

He's as good as they get .
He Gunna have to park all that creativity for a bit while he tour with AC/DC 😅
Can you guys PLEASE do a deep dive on Phil Lesh? He plays unlike any other bassist, his style is wholly unique to the Grateful Dead.
JUST BECAUSE !!!!❤
You need to do a Carol Kaye interview
Is Chris Chaney the nicest, humblest guy in the world? It certainly seems so. What a guy!
He's great, and that's part of the reason (along with being a killer player) that people want to work with him!
Thank you was an amazing song.
One of the coolest cats ever
Great guy!
KEEPING BASS PLAYERS SPIRITS HIGH !
BEST CONTENT FOR FAT 4 STRING CLANGERS 😎😍😃
always wanna know some stories when he worked with Robben ford...
Chris is the Josh Freese of bass.
This is really good...
I guess i am right about my statement, he is sort of a Tony Hawk of the bass world :)
John Entwistle was nicknamed 'The Ox' because of his amazing capability to imbibe any amount of ' medicine'
Очень круто 🎸🎸🎸 Спасибо!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Should form a band with him and Josh Freeze called the “Sub Masters” 😂
On most tab or notation for "Run for Cover" it's wrongly written as a triplet figure. As Chris rightly said it's 32nd notes.
OMG, Chris, you related bass/music to math.
You have no idea how many you verified. We aren't all musically inclined, but we understand the math.
He played with Robben ford too...
You guys gotta get Nate Watts on here!!!
We would LOVE to have Nate on!!!
Unrelated: can you cover "Peace In The Neighbourhood" by Paul McCartney, it has a great bass line.
hah i have a jx-42 on reverb that's been sitting there for a month now. maybe i can quickly jack up the price by 3x now.
Josh on Rick now Chris on Scott. 😊
One of the greatest!
(Question: what’s he on? He still looks 26 years old! I don’t..., 😄)
🖖
👍 1,000 times!
Nice bloke,killer bass player ❤
For like one second I thought that was Tony Hawk
Also, its so great to see Perry pre terrible plastic surgery.
I swear the best musicians love everything and don't gatekeep, they can be as moved by some muso-jazz player as a one string punk bassist.
Icon again??
Please review Do You by Miguel 🤌🙏
Hi
He says "over the top bougie chain" and Ian's pupils dilated to the size of saucers.
what is the girl purpose on the right of the screen ??

Chaney is THE UNDERCOVER BASS ICON! I had no idea but I am a huge fan. What a great guy!
Such an amazing interview with Chris Chaney. Thank you for highlighting and introducing us to him. I am a fan and so impressed by his humility, his generosity of time and energy. His style is amazing but even more is his character. He is an unsung legend of the bass community.
Great job on the Interview..
Love Chris Chaney 🎶🎶
Scott’s Bass continues to Roll!
YES! My 16 year old self is leaping with joy! Chris’ name was on every album I owned back in the day. ‘Strays’ was one of those albums that kicked my backside into learning to play with a pick every time I picked my bass up. Thank you guys so much for sharing this 😊🙏
There are next to no interviews/discussions that I watch all the way through. This one? 100%. Worth every minute! Pure gold.
This was wonderful. What a great guy Chris is. Thoroughly enjoyed every second of this 🙂
He replaced Cliff in acdc and he’s doing a killer job!!!
Chris is awesome!
What a lovely man! We definitely need to see that bass collection! And speaking of a legend we need John Paul Jones on ASAP!!
His p tone is something else! And what a real bass nerd 🤓 and overall nice guy in addition to being a great player
Legend.... cant wait for this
I love this channel !!!!!
Chris sporting the Edens!!! Nice. I still use mine every gig.
