Nick Schendzielos Jun 23, 2021

Show notes

Graced with an incredibly fast thumb, Nick “Shinz” Schendzielos has become a highly respected and in-demand bass player. He brings double-thumb, tapping, slapping, chords, and fingerstyle techniques to thrash and death metal—genres whose bass players have traditionally only used fast fingers and pick strokes.

Nick complements his deadly serious chops with a killer sense of humor, and through it all, his intense dedication to craft, finding great tone, and creating great music keeps him motivated. He currently dishes out complex low-end grooves for Job For A Cowboy and Cephalic Carnage, to which he also lends his vocals. In the past, he’s also played with Havok and Vimana.

Victor Wooten Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

For the third episode of the Bass Freq’s Podcast, host Josh Paul sits down with Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones; SMV), a multiple Grammy Award winner and a true innovator of the electric bass.

Victor isn’t just a master of technique—he’s a technical pioneer who explores every which way to make the electric bass express what he hears in his head. But underneath that technical mastery, he relies on a solid foundation of rhythm, feel, and knowing when—and when not—to play. When he’s not composing and playing music, Victor spends much of his time educating players at camp and clinic events as well as with the written word.

This episode features Josh and Victor discussing the latter’s early start at the tender age of 2 as well as his technique, gear, and some of the life lessons he’s picked up while holding it down.
