The secret thickness. The sneaky rumble. The one thing you barely notice until it's not there...*insert Cinderella's "Don't Know What You've Got 'Til It's Gone" here*. We're talkiiiiing Bass! How low can you go? Death row, what a brutha know....well, not really THAT kind of Bass. It's Metal bass and the unsung heroes that hold down the low end. - Bass (and Bassists) in Metal occupy 1 of 2 spots, and they're literally at opposite sides of the spectrum. Side 1 - No one knows who they are and can't really tell you what they do. Side 2 - They're so famous that anytime someone mentions a Bass player, they're the only ones to get mentioned. - Okay fine, it's a bit more gray than that, but you get the idea. - We're here to discuss all of it and would love it if you joined in on the socials.

In this episode, I sit down with bassist and vocalist Keith Horne, and it feels like reconnecting with a player I've admired for decades. I talk about the first time I experienced Keith live in 1996, when I was a freshman at Belmont University, and he was on the road with Peter Frampton. I still remember the impact of his touch, time, and musical confidence. From there, Keith and I dig into how his musical life started as a kid playing bluegrass with his dad, how flatpicking shaped his speed and articulation, and why being a multi-instrumentalist gave him an unusually complete view of the bandstand. We talk about his left-handed approach to playing guitar, how he learned guitar upside down, how he originally played drums left-handed, and why he eventually switched to a right-handed kit to survive the reality of shared backlines and sit-ins.Keith tells some incredible stories about chasing complex instruments, including the moment he finally found a left-handed pedal steel, how watching great steel players for years taught him the mechanics before he ever owned one, and how quickly he was able to apply that knowledge once the instrument was in front of him. We also trace the exact moment bass became his leading voice, when a bassist in his dad's band left his instrument at the house, and Keith quietly learned it without telling anyone, then shocked his dad by switching instruments mid-gig at age twelve and never looking back. That leads to a bigger conversation about why starting on drums is a superpower for a bassist, how it teaches you the unspoken communication between rhythm section players, and why Keith's time feel became one of his calling cards, including a compliment from Dennis Chambers that still stands out as one of the biggest of his life.Keith and I go deep on the singing bassist problem, how to keep vocals expressive while staying locked on bass, and how harmony singing often becomes the secret weapon that gets you the gig. He shares how his range and high harmony work opened doors, how constant performing strengthened his voice over time, and how he learned to shift between full voice and falsetto through heavy gigging and demanding material. We talk about the artists and songs that shaped his bass worldview, from Earth, Wind & Fire and Verdine White to Bernard Edwards, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Chuck Rainey, and Jaco. Keith tells the story of hearing Stanley Clarke for the first time and having his entire concept of the instrument explode overnight.A significant highlight is Keith's time in the Virginia fusion band Secrets, a band he calls the best musical situation he's ever been in. He tells the story of sitting in on Jeff Lorber's Tune 88, getting a standing ovation for a bass solo, and then immediately being offered the gig. We talk about how quickly great players elevate your musicianship, how his first night in the band was also Carter Beauford's first night, and the feeling of instant chemistry that made it seem like they'd been playing together forever. Keith also shares stories of opening for the Yellowjackets, becoming friends with Jimmy Haslip, and the surreal mirror-image moment when the band watching their soundcheck saw an upside-down bassist and an open-handed drummer and realized they were looking at a parallel-universe version of themselves.From there, we follow Keith's move to Nashville, living with the Wooten Brothers early on, playing jam nights seven nights a week, and building a reputation fast because he could authentically cover multiple genres on demand. He breaks down how his first major Nashville gig came through the Stockyard, leading to Tanya Tucker, and how the road unfolded from there with Waylon Jennings, Peter Frampton, and Trisha Yearwood, including singing Walkaway Joe with Trisha and what it's like to work with singers so accurate they can survive monitor failures in arenas without losing pitch. We also spend time on Hot Apple Pie, the magic of that record, why it still sounds fresh, and the frustration of how label shifts and industry timing kept the band from reaching the level the music deserved.We wrap with what Keith is doing now in Florida at the Orange Blossom Opry, what makes the venue unique, how the band tailors its opening set to match each headliner, and why the schedule can be intense during the season but still sustainable because the owners take care of the musicians in a rare way. It's a wide-ranging conversation about musicianship, time feel, harmony, career longevity, and the kind of stories you only get from someone who has genuinely lived on bandstands for decades.Thank you for listening. If you have questions, feedback, or ideas for the show, please email me at brad@thebandwichtapes.com.

Bassist Ross Schodek…I've always been a huge fan of Poncho Sanchez's music, so you can imagine how excited I was to dive into his latest album, Live at the Belly Up Tavern. (Check out my full review here: Album Review.)This dynamic live recording is full of energy, groove, and that unmistakable Latin jazz magic, and after giving it a few spins, I found myself especially drawn to the incredible bass work holding it all together. That bassist is Ross Schodek.Naturally, I had to reach out.In the conversation that follows, Ross shares his musical journey, what it's like working with the legendary Poncho Sanchez, his experiences with other notable acts, how he crafts his sound, and what exciting projects he has on the horizon.Let's dive in and get to know the talented Ross Schodek!This interview first appeared in Bass Musician Magazine in July 2025Go to jazzguitartoday.com and bassmusicianmagazine.com more interviews and lessons.

This time I am hanging out with Mike Leon, current bassist for CKY, and Igorrr. (Former member of Soulfly, Havok and The Absence.) We dig into how a kid who was obsessed with CKY movies and weird heavy bands ended up actually joining his favorite band, and how that path wound through DIY world tours, insane lineups and a whole lot of van miles. Mike walks through his whole journey: discovering heavy music in the pre-internet days, cutting his teeth in The Absence, jumping into Havok, then getting the call from Soulfly, and finally landing in CKY literally days after leaving Soulfly. We get into the “law of attraction” side of all this, but with the real-world piece too, the boring but crucial part, consistency and doing the work for years when no one is watching. Of course we nerd out on bass gear and tone. Mike talks about his first Fender PJ that felt like opening a treasure chest, his love affair with ESP basses, how his ESP MLB4 signature came to be, why longer scale lengths and heavier strings matter for low tunings, and how the humble Boss ODB-3 and a chorus pedal get you straight into Peter Steele territory. We also get into NAMM show chaos, what good artist relations actually looks like, and how his day job at Enki has him helping other artists solve real on-the-road problems. We round it out with kids discovering heavy music, whether a new “Warped Tour era” is coming, and a spicy pizza take involving pineapple. If you are into CKY, Soulfly, metal bass tone, ESP gear, NAMM stories or just want to hear how sticking with it can literally change your life, this one is for you.
