Jeff Berlin's Rithimic Basses - Interview & Jam

[@chuckblaisdell990]

I have been playing a bass for 56 years . In my opinion Berlin is absolutely right on .

[@KleeMusicAZ]

The honestly & authenticity displayed here is commendable. Much respect.

[@jamescarlucci9867]

Berlin is a god damn legend...Thank you Jeff!!

[@Belman5]

For the first minute or so I thought the interviewer had one arm and was wondering how he was going to play the guitar....LOL. Great interview, and Jeffs bass and his playing sound awesome.

[@fanuellandolf2009]

Me too I really thought he had one arm. An awkward way to sit and give an interview

[@ixa-3140]

Yes lol I was so confused

[@meuterritorio]

😁😁😁

Jeff Berlin is one of my greatest inspirations that sent rushing to learning bass...

[@emmanuelacharithayamim3627]

Thank you Mr Berlin, you make a ton of sense. I first heard you on “Feels good to me”, your playing blew me away, and the musicians appearing with you too. I’ve recently borrowed one of your rithimics from a friend. Over the years I’ve owned about 24 basses inc a DB, and your signature model is not only up there with the best, but great value for money. Thanks again

[@Jeff-o-Lee]

Jeff's the best. I was fortunate to attend Musicians Institute when he was an instructor there.

[@MrBassflute]

Wonderful, as always. Thank you.

[@markyates8399]

I started playing electric bass because of rock and roll. I was probably 13. I had a buddy across the street who was learning guitar. Music was in my house on the record player via my schizophrenic (GOD BLESS HER) mother and my brothers. So I had it coming from all directions. Thankfully my buddy and I were in the school music program as Bass Violin players. I was beyond scrawny so I’m not sure how that happened. They needed viola players! So we had 2 vectors of music education. One which involved learning by ear and the other by reading the black dots. I didn’t always see the value in the latter because of my perception about what was cool. I eventually went to university where I was force fed music theory. Thank God! Had I just learned and played bass parts,my musical knowledge (my opinion) would have suffered tremendously. Jeff Berlin along with a few others like Joe Hubbard and Rick Beato are providing a great service thru their music education platforms. Drink deeply from the well and grow.

Jeff is on the money.

[@barrygilbert3649]

Who’s the interviewer, Steve who?….love his guitar playing!

[@jordanhedlund]

Great interviewer

[@chriscuthbertson]

Scan, did you ever do the video about the bass?

[@bmac1205]

No mention of Peavey Palaedium or Dean. Jeff was with Dean for 14 years.

[@kokowavez9454]

for a moment, i was interested in how the amputee was going to play 😁

[@derwinmoss9485]

Thank You for posting this video, I enjoyed it very much. I’d been playing electric bass for about 3 years when I first heard Jeff’s playing on Bill Bruford’s “One of a Kind” album, which absolutely floored me. And his playing still amazes me. I also have to thank Jeff for “introducing” me to Jack Bruce’s music. I read an interview with Jeff where he cited Jack Bruce as a major influence on his playing when he was in his teens, so I started listening to Cream, then I started listening to Jack’s incredible music recorded after Cream broke up.

[@emmanuelacharithayamim3627]

Derwin Moss Listen to “Feels good to me”, also with Mr Berlin

[@frederickthorne2496]

I am a better musician thanks to Jeff's sound advice.

[@misylos]

Mr Berlin looks like a great actor Walter Matthau

[@luckylicks3497]

The guitar community is the same in this instance..
