I would love to see Mono jam with Jojo Mayer. MonoNeon actually covers the synth and the bass components of the jam, because he's usually appearing with Nerve which is bass/synth added to Jojo.
Hi Premier Guitar, could you do Rig Rundown on Jack White, Thundercat, Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Josh Homme, Coldplay, Linkin Park, Wes Borland, Pale Waves, BeaBaDooBee, Lenny Kravitz, The Black Keys, TEKE TEKE, Crumb, Jamiroquai, L'impératrice & Jungle. Thank You Premier Guitar.
I got nothing but love, admiration and total respect for Dwayne aka MonoNeon. I'm grateful for his willingness to partake in the conversation knowing it wasn't the most comfortable thing, but I think his warm, glowing character shines through.
I’m so happy you got Mononeon to come on. Prince saw his talent. You can hear it in his music. He’s got some serious talent that hasn’t even bloomed yet.
I have watched every rig run down. But I have never clicked on one so fast. Thank you @premierguitar for featuring a bass player, and a solo bassist at that.
I remember seeing his signature bass in my local guitar store a few years ago and it definitely shocked me (mainly because I had never seen a bass with that bright a finish before and also I had no idea who MonoNeon was at the time), but after hearing him play in this I'm definitely impressed with what he can do. Definitely funky as hell and it's awesome
MonoNeon, Dwayne is very inspiring. Seems he just taps into creative intuition, and that's working for him. Good interview, I seem to remember you did a good interview with J Mascis a couple of years ago too. So you seem to be good at drawing out shy artists to talk about what they do. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kind words. I try to do my best of walking a line of being inviting and pulling information out of the guests but not get in the way or overtake them. Appreciate the kudos and support to PG's channel!
@@chris_kies Yes, that's how it comes across. Like your keeping yourself out of it. Except asking brief well targeted questions only when you want to stimulate a potentially interesting topic. It's a rarer skill than you'd think. And important, with shyer interview subjects. And plenty of stage-hardened instrumentalists pr soloists are surprisingly shy when it comes to speaking about their craft. I like Matt Sweeney's interviews on his Guitar Moves channels too.
What a legend he is a huge inspiration as a bass player and just and all round dude I love that if he is in to something that’s what he dose Who cares what people think Good on you bro respect
I first saw him on the Zildjian live performance with Larnell Lewis. Amazing performance, and the drums were obviously the intended feature, but mononeon stole the show big time.
A PHENOMENAL MUSICIAN AND A GREAT-SOUNDING BASS!!! I'm not wild about the color scheme, but the bass's growl and punch are undeniable!!! MonoNeon is a cool and humble dude, too!!!
4:50 I'm actually right-handed but I play this left-handed -- WTF! There are left-handed guitarist which play right handed (like Mark Knopfler) and it's very interesting to have your main hand on the frets.

Great Rundown Chris aka Always Prepared, Kies!
You said it!
He's really getting more comfortable during interviews and we are benefiting GREATLY!!!
I noticed that too
I’m so happy you got Mononeon to come on. Prince saw his talent. You can hear it in his music. He’s got some serious talent that hasn’t even bloomed yet.
This interview has got to be the most real one I've heard from PG. He just loves to play bass.
we are lucky that he's able to get out on stage and share his incredible art!
MonoNeon is special. Been following him for years. I'm so happy for him.
Aaaaa Mono is coming out of his shell more and more. I feel like he's more comfy wearing a bass
I have watched every rig run down. But I have never clicked on one so fast. Thank you @premierguitar for featuring a bass player, and a solo bassist at that.
Check out the Donny Benet Rig Rundown next!
MonoNeon is the most amazing innovative funk bassist one could ever imagine 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
mono is the real deal. I ve seen him life on numerous occasions and he is just a very special player, I am a huge fan!
The coolest character in the music industry...It is no wonder that the Prince found him!
Thundercat is pretty cool too now.
Hey Mononeon, I absolutely appreciate you, your art, and your honesty. You are an inspiration!!! Go Man!!!!
That sounds exactly like your Sony Walkman when it starts to eat the cassette tape.
Looks like it too!! Sport version, FTW.
@@thepatzeroh my God too good man!
And then your tape would be like an accordion , geez so many memories ;)
Can't understand hear it now😂
RIGHT 😂😂😂😂😂
The fart pedal with the wet toggle switch...lol 😂😊 Legend...
His new band is super fun to watch. Great vibes.
One of the best doing it now. Mononeon is amazing.
My grandma used to make those quilts back in the 80s....good to see you turn old material into a jumpsuite....looks funkadelic...
@@crock2434 too funny I thought I was the only one that would say that!
MonoNeon's basslines sound like an insane acid trip

Beast of a player. Best player I've heard in many years.. Great interview. Thanks
yay! One of my ultimate music heros, thanks for doing it again, and such a cool interview!
What a great musician, what a great human being!
This man is from outer space
What a legend he is a huge inspiration as a bass player and just and all round dude I love that if he is in to something that’s what he dose
Who cares what people think
Good on you bro respect
I couldn’t love him any more my heart is full
Great rig rundown.
Saw him on a Louis Cole video, damn what a groove.
have we ever seen danny brown and mono neon in the same room????
I think your on to something.
Came here to say the same thing 😂😂
holy fucking shit
I literally just commented the same thing
Great interview!
All those colors - I love it! 😄
Yes!! Mono Neon getting the props he deserves, the hero we need x
I first saw him on the Zildjian live performance with Larnell Lewis. Amazing performance, and the drums were obviously the intended feature, but mononeon stole the show big time.
love this guy's playing. superb!
More Power to you Mono Neon!!!👍🏾
Saw him at the Phish festival a couple weeks ago, hangin with Mike Gordon.
One thing I learned that I wasn't aware of is how off-the-cuff Mono is. Nothing seems planned with him, which is cool.
drink when he says "i dont know"
I discovered mono right after Prince had passed away. I knew he was gonna be huge. Ive NEVER heard anything like him.
I don't know what dimension I've slipped into but it's wild
MONO NEON ROCKZ!!!!
That bass is cool af
Seems like a cool guy
Freaky funky, love it.
His whole vibe is insane
Wow, what a neat guy. He's really likeable.
This was awesome !
Prince’s last bass player from Memphis, Tennessee. Amazing. 💜
Mono is the single reason I started playing bass again after putting it down for years after having my first kid. Great to see this.
I need to see him and Eric Gales jam.
When I saw this title, I shuddered in fear that John Bohlinger would be interviewing. Praise
Highly talented
Hell yes! Thanks
Nice interview
15:00 that vid is MonoNeon - "Can I Buy Your Groceries So I Can Get Into Heaven?" feat. (Damon Darling)
Please do one on Paul Bender of Hiatus Kaiyote!!!❤❤❤
right handed an but plays left geeezzz💯🔥🎸
I want to hear more of what this man has to say about anything, be it music, art, family, or farts.
You really can’t go wrong if you were inspired by an Albert King technique. That cat never played a bad note and that’s fact!!
Awesome!
What a cool dude!
Such an amazing and unique player. It actually didn't look like the bass was low B but low E to high C. Is that right?
13:05 love that!
Signature Bass: ultra access heal with an upside down bass meaning no upper fret access possible 😂 I’m ok with my traditional heal
I used to carry a security blanket and now I wear it
If ANYONE was gonna have the fart pedal in a set up, its MONO NEON!
Dwayne is amazing. Still amazes me that he plays upside down like that!
I started out doing that. Then I flipped it over and now I play a million times better.
A PHENOMENAL MUSICIAN AND A GREAT-SOUNDING BASS!!! I'm not wild about the color scheme, but the bass's growl and punch are undeniable!!! MonoNeon is a cool and humble dude, too!!!
4:50 I'm actually right-handed but I play this left-handed -- WTF! There are left-handed guitarist which play right handed (like Mark Knopfler) and it's very interesting to have your main hand on the frets.
Hell yeah. Mono rules
Awesome ❤
This guys is Danny Brown’s alter ego I swear
Just bought a fretless bass, Ibanez SRD905F ... Micro notes 🤘
That dude doesn't have sweat glands! Either that or there's a "rainforest type" ecosystem under his outfit :D
Whats his name? He should write it down somewhere
Class act!
I love him giving Frank Zappa a shout-out! 😍👍 :つ{■
It would be great if his name would be written somewhere so we would know who he is 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤
Add more bass players to the channel
Am I insane or the bass sound makes a noise that says "mono neon" too?
Kurt Cobain was right handed but played left-handed as well
What’s his name? I can’t tell. :)
13:14 can we all just please appreciate whats happening here ? 🙈
He always seems like he's fighting the instrument a little bit.
Good 😊
Whats the name of the artist?
/s
MonoNeon
@@premierguitar”/s” is sarcasm notation
@@premierguitar you sure?
@@ArleyMcBlain Ope.
Yeah i don't know.
"that's my fart"
Eccentric genius
💛🧡❤
D-Madness and Danny Brown had a child
You guys should do king gizzard
Stay tuned next month ;)
💯
MonoNeon 💛🧡
Love this kid.
Ok
Am I missing something ? 😂
😂 I thought he was one of those artists that didn't interview or talk on camera.
If you see older interviews of him, you can see he doesn't feel comfortable in front of the camera at all.
He prefers to blend into the background 😅
