Absolutely! I hope we can give Krist a bit more credit.

[@AmericanVetMusic]

@@WhichBass , agreed. I think it’s a travesty that he just now got on the Artist list for strings and just now finally got his signature bass. Do you think it would have taken this long if it wasn’t for the incident when he threw his bass in the air and hit himself in the face? It seems like people can’t let that go about him or it’s all they remember…NOT HIS MUSIC!!! It’s terrible 😞.

Great video, my dude. I remember when I heard Nirvana's 'Negative Creep' for the first time in 1989 during a show on Stockton College, NJ radio. It blew me away and thank the Lord I was recording the show on my boom box at the time. I got that song on tape as well as an early cut from Die Kreuzen. It was a great time for music.

[@sski]

@@WhichBass I did enjoy it! All your videos are always a great time and source of information. And yeah, I was into tape. In fact, I was working in recording situations where cutting tape was a normal, and tedious, process. Then came digital recording and it was like the heavens opened up and God's booming voice said, "GO, AND MAKE MUSIC WITHOUT THE TEDIUM OF CUTTING THY TAPE" as unicorns with wings flew about and good scotch was had by all LoL! I still use tape. I used it last night to pull a radio show that interviewed my doom metal band, Ov Moros (shameless plug :), and played a bunch of songs off our new album. It was just simpler to catch it that way. I'll dump it to my DAW and all will be archived. Tape still has its uses for me. Cheers!

[@sski]

@@vincetrujillojr510 One of these days I will have to do that. I know where the tape is, its in a big tub with hundreds of other tapes of my past history.

Now I'm not sure why this seems to be the case, but nearly every guitar I've ever picked up, acoustic or electric, have a completely different, seemingly random set of tones & notes produced from picking on that area...

Thanks for watching Ant Man! I am trying to get a few more guests on the channel so here's hoping! Billy Gould is a great suggestion thanks!

Krist and Robert Deleo are the reason I picked up bass 20 years ago!

The Ibanez Roadster series of basses & guitars was actually introduced 1n 1979. This series later changed to the Roadstar in 1983.

Krist is my favorite bass player and favorite musician. Great video, there were lot informations I didn't know about him before. You could do video for Mike Drint (bass player of Green Day) next.

Glad you enjoyed it Kristina thanks for watching. Mike is a super suggestion thank you!
