    Fat Mike is EASILY one of the most underrated bassists of all time. His bass lines are creative, challenging and melodic. He might not be as fast as Matt Freeman, but he's equally talented.

    • @michelegrassi4385

    As a bass player this dude is one of my all time favorite bassists. His understanding of melody and chordal harmony is very impressive especially how heavily he uses both in this style of music . And he is amazingly proficient with pick playing, not to mention his song writing ability. People in general, especially bass players, just don’t understand how musically capable and complex Fat Mike is. He plays his role as a bass player perfectly within the songs he writes, that’s natural talent. Listening to this band most musicians never think the bass player is the writer of these songs and singer

      (he may well have a pedal before the interface or going out the back of the amp into the interface even but i just DI and record without any effects and then later decide on tone.

    Kiddo, you are sick good. Subbed and will consider supporting after I watch more. This is just a question from an older bass player. It is obvious you can play with or without a pick just from your skill level, so, do you choose the pick because of the sound of the attack of it or because of the punk/ska music? Or both? Or something else? Regardless you are very impressive and major props from an older jazz guy. Loved it.
