Michael Bishop Explains The Steak Bass

[@SuplexThisBear]

I did catering for GWAR last week and I can confirm that they are ALL the nicest dudes in the world.

[@fryedpiper5887]

My buddy opened up for them in Cleveland and I can confirm. They were super cool.

[@eastcoastbuds]

[@dre4011]

Mike Bishop.....Richmond Legend❤

[@Alex_Valentine]

Michael Bishop is a bass god! We used to write each other back in the AOL days.

[@Alan-br2tr]

This guy seems really down to earth. I used to work in Hampton at Wallace's Marina as a teen 30 plus years ago for this guy Kelly Place who was from Richmond. Kelly was good friends with the guys from Gwar. I remember Kelly telling me that he had some friends coming to visit and that they were members of Gwar. He asked did i know who the band was which i did and had listened to a few times. He said that they were going out on the boat and asked if i wanted to come along. I was like hell yeah! Really cool guys!

[@ampthebassplayer]

His comment at 5:30 is the most relatable thing I've ever heard.

[@bikershark9]

Also "it sucks to play with it but it looks cool"

[@Therealchuckbailey]

Never been a big GWAR guy but man he’s fuckin awesome.

[@blousug]

I’m not a Gwar fanatic but he seems like such a fun guy!

[@TheBassChannel]

He really is

[@jamesstuart3313]

GWAR is the greatest band ever😂

[@bushmann9272]

this guy is the reason i play bass

[@dilligaf77]

Absolutely cool video. I saw Gwar twice and it was awesome! (And a long time ago lol)

[@godlessheathan1853]

i religiously consume any media pertaining to GWAR this is no different HAIL GWAR

[@robertkelton5831]

Thank you Mike. Beefcake forever and the only vocalist worth carrying on the tradition!!

[@joshbeast8599]

That was really awesome!

[@southbayspike]

Mike Bishop is fuckin awesome. A great singer and musician, and a really nice guy.

[@BigMuff75]

Super nice guy.

[@vanessamonster5038]

Saw you guys in ATL for a new years show in the mid 90s. Blew my fng mind. Awesome live.

[@peedebarsinisterjr1453]

Loved the practicing across from Brooke rd post office 90s. . .wow!

[@elijahjohnson1297]

That’s some meaty bass tone you got there bud!

[@edhall9656]

🤣 complete tonal control always set the same... but I can change it if I want 🤣 that's great ! and so true........

[@joshbeast8599]

That’s how I feel as well!🤣

[@edhall9656]

@@joshbeast8599 I have played for 45 years 🤣 ands that's what I do 🤣

[@blousug]

My reaction when he said that: I feel seen 😂😂

[@MrRungi]

Mike, my man. Geddy played a Steinberger. Long live GWAR!!!!

[@davedixon2167]

Wow! He says it plays like a shorty but the strap peg is at like the 15th fret; bizarre! But Steinbergers DO play a little "different" in general. Hilarious that he just plain called Roman 'sketchy' too.

[@rodrigoorg]

GWAR ❤️

[@tysonsummers3842]

GWAR needs to bring this back ASAP! It's never been the same without the steak base.

[@DrTomoculus]

5:25 - true story ha!!!

[@michaellorenz7177]

So a Steinberger, an old Fender Bassman and an Ampeg 810? Damn now I'm GASing...

[@michaellorenz7177]

Btw... please tell me there's more with Dr. Bishop upcoming....

[@TheBassChannel]

Oh, yes. Approximately 3 more videos to come

[@eightfifty2309]

Never thought that the bassist for a grarly band like GWAR seems so well spoken. He sounds like he can narrate a commercial for Bass Pro Shops or something.

[@jeremynelson5311]

Funny because he's a huge fisherman

[@DasSpitter]

He has a Ph.D. He presented his Doctoral thesis in a Ted X Talk.

[@raimywinter2309]

Would love a new Kepone album

[@zachary_attackery]

Ed Roman made a bunch of guitars for Vinnie Vincent too

[@barbwirepain2120]

Hail Blothar and hail GWAR

[@sheldonwright8770]

Medium rare tuning for sure

[@DarthPuke]

Oderus passing has made me realize how all of the Christians felt when their Jesus died!

[@melvinatkins998]

Comedic horror music?…. How could it last?…. 30 years later?…. Everyone knows GWAR!…. ❤

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

dropped off my other carvin. ,new bridge. ,gotoh keys. ,aguilar opb 3 preamp. have a good day.

[@dillygdrums256]

I had no idea… I always just thought it was a custom instrument

[@colb999]

Steinbergers rule. I bought my XL2 new in 87 and it will be to be pried from my cold dead hands.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The headless design is actually better for the sound most people assume the large headstock will "balance" the sustain but large headstocks just kill it

[@joevail6959]

“the cable would grab ahold of someone’s chains or armor…” GWAR problems.

[@squishydafishy]

Love GWAR but that bass is disgustingly dirty 🤣

[@Lowendgenerator]

Ed Roman is the definition of sketch hahah!
