I met Rich Brown at one of the Bass Shows (the snowy one in London) and he is one of the sweetest, loveliest, most humble and down to earth people I've ever met. He's also one of the greatest players of all time. His phrasing, articulation, sense of melody, harmony, groove, feel, and tone, are about as good as they get. He's also a brilliant teacher and educational content creator, and has an amazing speaking voice which is as rich (pun intended) as his tone.

Besides that I'm really starting to enjoy Janek's style and I would like to start moving my playing in that direction.
