Episode description
Be afraid, be very afraid: the ‘80s are back. This was a time when synth keyboards ruled, when sequencers were rapidly making ground, and bass players feared for their jobs! Trends and innovations in bass design were not exactly scarce either, and to prove it, we’ve collared together five of the very best bass guitars from the 1980s.
In this episode
- Why Scott bought a Yamaha BB.
- What makes the Wal bass circuit so wacky?
- Ken Smith and the first wide-necked 6-string bass.
- Who’s taken Scott’s Kubicki X Factor?
- Should Scott and Ian start an ‘80s bass duo?
