Hosted by Carson and Nick, this podcast strikes the perfect balance between humor and information, making it an enjoyable and educational listen. One of the best aspects of this podcast is when the hosts go off on tangents. Their witty banter keeps the conversation engaging and entertaining, while still managing to stay on topic.

Plus, their deep dives into various bands have introduced listeners to new music, expanding their musical horizons.

    One possible downside of The BASSED. podcast could be its occasional tangents. While these tangents can be amusing and entertaining, they may also veer off track from the original topic or take up too much time. This could potentially be frustrating for listeners who are seeking more focused content or those who prefer shorter episodes without excessive diversions. However, it's a minor issue that can easily be overlooked considering the overall quality of the podcast.

    In conclusion, The BASSED. podcast is a must-listen for anyone passionate about basses and bass gear.
