    Great job getting to fat mike and more punk rock bands. You should definitely do some more punk ska and reggae bands as well as some jam bands bassists. Hopefully we have many, many, many more from you to come. Learning a lot. Keep it up my man.

    Fat Mike and Nofx have always really stood out to me as an influence. I think what he’s helped to create in the punk scene is unifying and awesome. The band that wouldn’t die as they say.

      Check out the documentary on RUclips appropriately called The Wrecking Crew about said group of studio musicians who worked with almost every great artist of all genres throughout the late 50s til the 80s...anyway the electric bass player I'm sure u you've heard of the legendary Carol Kaye...the crew's most famous and greatest work was of course Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys....but check it out if ya haven't seen it.... I'm also a huge NOFX and punk rock fan as well

Even when you cover players and bands I’m not into I ALWAYS learn something. I wish I had your musical knowledge, often I don’t know what the scale names or modes you mention mean but you have inspired me to learn new things. Thank you.

    I remember being an early beginning guitarist and trying to learn NOFX songs. They’ve always just been on a whole neither level. Their songs are tuneful indeed but so much more musically complicated than other punk bands. By far! So difficult.

  • @jpdabass
    @jpdabass 3 года назад +1

    Excelent! Fat Mike is a great bass player and NOFX is a fantastic band. Your videos are really cool and it was awesome to see this particular episode. I want to ask you, because I don't really know the answer: how do you think he got the tone from the "So long (...)" album? That tone is unique and absolutely stellar. Even if it only works in mixes such as those from punk rock albums and alike. That tone... It's amazing. All the best for you and your channel! 👍

    “Nothing really complicated.”?!?!?
    Mike has some very strange time signatures and progressions. He also has some crazy intricate lines woven and buried on some of their tunes. As well as “difficult to pin down” rhythms every once in a while. Outside of maybe Matt Freeman, Joe Raposso, Mike Watt and a handful of others, Mikes one of the GOAT bass players in that scene.
    Not even a fan of his politics or the childish attention seeking, how he only attacks one religion the majority of the time dislike his hypocrisy and degeneracy, but i can still be objective enough to give him his credit, musically.
    You made him sound just above average, when he has legendary lines,
