  • How do you carve your own path as a bass player?
    In this first-time collaboration, music icons and Dunlop Bass Strings artists Marcus Miller and Robert Trujillo get together to talk about how they came to be who they are as musicians. Discover the influences they share and how they’ve used the pivotal lessons they've learned to establish their own unique “voices” as bass players. After that, Marcus and Robert ditch the stools for a killer jam session featuring Rage Against the Machine’s Brad Wilk on drums.

      That's kinda my story too. Learned classical und folk guitar as a child, then switched to electric guitar as a teen and played in a band a couple of years. Then life happened, university, marriage, kids and there wasn't a lot of time for the guitar which was okay.
      Then I was asked to join a band with multiple singers and maybe play guitar. But there was a really great guitarist from the US, we really didn't need me on guitar. But singing kinda wasn't enough so I thought, maybe try bass guitar. I bought a cheap but good bass and I completely switched my role as a musician and fell in love with the bass. So I kept on going and found my dream bass.
      Now I identify as a bassist who happens to also plays guitar sometimes. 😁

      It kind of reminds me of Adrian Belew. He's 74 (and certainly looks it), but he has this infectious joy and energy to his performances. He comes out from behind the stage running and jumping over cables and whatever else, and I don't think he stops smiling even for 1/2 a second during his performances. He says he doesn't feel older than 35. He's been doing what he loves for so long that it's kept him young.
