Bass Player US - November 2014

في هذه القضية

The November 2014 issue of Bass Player goes deep with bassist's bassist Tim Lefebvre. From his high-profile role as a member of the Tedeschi Trucks Band to his cutting-edge side work with Knower and Mark Guiliana to his days as a doubler with Chuck Loeb, Wayne Krantz, Rudder, and the Saturday Night Live House Band to his current L.A. session work with Pharrell and Toto, Tim is in tune with today’s key music makers. He takes us inside his multi-genre groove approach, reveals his pedal secrets, and shares the keys to becoming the bassist everyone calls for their projects.

We also connect with Weezer’s Scott Shriner, über-producer Larry Klein, Joe Principe of Rise Against, and Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch. It doesn't stop there! We also dig into the Moog Minitaur analog bass synth, test drive new instruments from PRS and Musicvox, rock out to Pat Travers’ 1977 live hit “Getting’ Betta” via a transcription of Mars Cowling’s growling bass line, and more!
