Bass Player UK Magazine 105 June 2014 Edizione posteriore

We love funk. We love jazz. We love soul. But we also love to rock out, and when it comes to stadium-sized tunes, you don’t get bigger than Kings Of Leon. Bassist Jared Followill graces our cover this month whose tale will blow your mind, from his roots as a teenager who’d never picked up a bass, all the way to today’s position at the very top of the global music industry. Big hats off to interviewer Jon D’Auria and photographer Kevin Estrada for heading up our Stateside bass team.

Elsewhere we interview four of Britain’s finest bassists – Mark King, Glenn Hughes, Guy Pratt and Jon Thorne – before a chat with Kip Winger and a tour around Cort’s massive factory in Indonesia. Head to our gear section for reviews of super-expensive basses by Rikkers and Dingwall, moderately-priced models by Caparison and budget-specced Fender amps, making our coverage tailor-made for everyone’s budget.
What are you waiting for? See you next month, rockers.
