The best thumping Thursday ever. Norm should hire that guy. LOL

[@AdmiralQuality]

Worst ever. Enough with the guest hosts. Give them separate bits if you must as you've always done, but this isn't GotD worthy.

[@guitarocd9984]

Admiral you must have watched a different video. LOL

[@guitarocd9984]

mark hated bass guitars. So how do you figure this isn't guitar of the day Worthy.

[@AdmiralQuality]

@@guitarocd9984 Because my ears work?

[@guitarocd9984]

Are you sure LOL

[@ritualcities]

this is awesome. love how much GOTD is evolving. Rudy Sarzo brought a new enthusiastic authenticity to thumpinthursdays!!!!!

[@oiramsq73]

No fair! Now you can sell it because Rudy S played it! And he’s right - bass has ALWAYS been cool - and he’s one of the reasons! Nice move to bring in a ringer!

[@nosaj666]

This dude is rad. His stoke is contagious!

[@mcflotty]

Man, I’m 50 and as far back as me listening to music Rudy has been a prominent player. He’s such a class act and I love listening to him play and talk. I’m I guitarist but any time I listen to him I learn something. Such a cool guy

[@johnfritz15]

He’s awesome! I like the guest host mixed in occasionally.

[@allstopblue5717]

Rudy Sarzo is the real deal. The authenticity oozes from this guy. Such a great vibe and spirit, it’s no wonder he’s been called upon so many times throughout his career to play with the best of the best.

[@canucklehead0]

There is no substitute for enthusiasm. When Rudy first picked up this gorgeous bass and curled those fingers into his playing position, you could see the passion in his eyes. One of the best, if not The Best bass show and tell done on GOTD. Mr. Sarzo would be a welcomed guest for a Thumpin Anyday, at Norman's Rare Guitars!!

So good to see a musician really explain and perform the instrument. Best Guitar of the Day for April!! Good job guys!!!

“Tell me a little about this” tells them all about it lol I love Rudy

[@vmat1000]

Great to see Rudy here, sorta on the fly, so to speak. He was very knowlegable. I also love his bit on playing 'unplugged' first. after all this time, i'd never plug in unless it was serious (buying mode). my '75 Strat i bought with out ever plugging it in. Like SRV said 'i just knew'.

[@VersesRecords]

wow . . . Sarzo's passion is deep, sincere and radiates . . . super cool!

[@jclev99]

Rudy Sarzo = awesome bass player... but more importantly, awesome guy!

[@timothycormier3494]

I officially like bass day now!!! Check out Rudy giving history on the instrument and everything. Mark should be proud

[@davis7959]

Rudy was refreshing. This was the first time I have really enjoyed Thumpin' Thursday. I appreciate accomplished professionals and their take on things and issues. I value their input. I got more out of this one video than the 30 or so Bass GOTDs that preceded it! Thanks folks!

[@GregStallion]

Any other bassists on here smiling from ear-to-eat? These last two Thumpin’ Thursdays have had me so happy. I’m so proud to play bass! Please, keep bringing on legends like Rudy!

Met Rudy and the QR guys back in 1983. I was a punk kid and he could not have been cooler. Made a big impression on me.
