Much the same way that a person who says, “I’m going to be real,” is usually shorthand for, “Stand back, because I’m about to be a colossal narrow-minded asshole.”

I love his approach to this style, especially the hammer-ons and open string drones. The rhythmic push-pull with the drummer is like a conversation within the song, for those with ears to listen. Bass-as-drums was a necessity when we were kids, and drummers were in shorter supply. You had to learn to mimic the sound and feel of kick-snare to get by without a drummer. More was revealed (to me) as I discovered Larry Graham’s story of bass-as-drums, as well as rockabilly stand-up slap bass. Now, I think better effects technology has fully realized the potential of rhythmic bass. Thanks for writing this, Max, I can’t wait to hear your new material.
