Obviously, a bass sounds like a bass and a guitar sounds like a guitar, but the way you play the guitar reflects your personality.

The flukey part of it is, back in the early days, I had that guitar decorated with all kinds of crap wallpaper, 'Flower Power' - then that got all shaved off. And during the course of cleaning the bass up again, some of the wood got shaved down, and it probably became a lighter body than the stock factory model.

I love that people can feel the bass in their body.

A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.

The bass, no matter what kind of music you're playing, it just enhances the sound and makes everything sound more beautiful and full. When the bass stops, the bottom kind of drops out of everything.

I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.

If there's any object in human experience that's a precedent for what a computer should be like, it's a musical instrument: a device where you can explore a huge range of possibilities through an interface that connects your mind and your body, allowing you to be emotionally authentic and expressive.

I wonder if I could make an electric bass.

Bass guitar is the engine of the band.

My guitar playing touches so many different areas of the form, but the important thing is what it represents across the form.
