Interview with Aalaap Raju | Bassist| Playback singer|

Hi All
Had a wonderful time chatting with this extremely humble and down to earth
musician - Aalaap Raju
The chat starts with Aalaap's early years as a bassist in his college band
and it ends with him sharing his knowledge on bass guitars and gears.
I figured there are much better interviews of on KZbin which focuses on his singing career. So this chat is centered solely around Aalaap as a bassist
I am sure this will be a treat to all his fans and all aspiring bassists

Very interesting...

Just started watching - nice to hear two favorite bass guitar musicians/KZbinrs have this conversation. Note: The audio on Karthik's end sounds a little lower. Edit after watching: Nice conversation. Some gear talk and discussion on musical influences which is expected when two musicians talk. Was waiting for discussion on Aalaap's KZbin bass guitar covers which I've really enjoyed. It is briefly discussed towards the end around 1:11:00. Was expecting some discussion about performing in QFR (Aalaap Raju and Karthik feature in different episodes).
