just saw this on instagram. I'll head to barnes and noble tomorrow and if they have it I'll post some scans. I can't believe he posed with the G3! I can't wait to read this!

I'd hug this magazine! Hope someday this G3 (or a replica) will be used again. Last time was in 2009 for a local show in Oakland, I guess.

If someone from US could send me this issue to Brazil I'd pay for all the costs in advance :/

I always love these interviews, the one they did when they released the trilogy was great, i hope one of the guitar magazines does an interview with billie soon

Huh. He doesn't usually use Gibson ones does he? He's been pretty consistent with the Fender P-basses for like, a while. And that other bass magazine interview seemed to be only fender gear for this album. So...interesting cover choice I guess?

Yeah that's weird I really like the Fender P-bass he uses.

Oh well it's a badass cover i guess

Has anyone found a copy of this? 

not yet. i looked in barnes and noble again last night and they still didn't have it. I checked bass player's website when I got home and they didn't have it up there for sale yet either

Incidentally, I spent about 15 minutes talking to Mikes bass teacher, Stephen Burke, before the Berkeley show started. He showed me some texts between Mike and him where Mike was setting him up with free tickets for the show.   He also showed me part of the text of the BP mag article where Stephens name is mentioned.

I'm starting to get pissed. I went to Barnes and Noble again today and they STILL don't have it even though it's up on ebay and it's for sale on Bass Player's website. I almost ordered it from the website but I refuse to pay $16 for one issue of a magazine. The price on the cover says $5.99, yet bass player's website is selling them for $9.99, plus $6 for shipping. fuck that.

Great interview full of little gems!

"His [Tré's] foot and my wrist are connected. Every night before we go onstage, I take my pick and I rub it across the bottom of his shoe. Then we're ready." Way to go man!

"We [bass players] are the foundation in any musical setting, and we look cool as hell while we're doing it. You might as well have asked me what made me want to be the most important member of the band." :lol:
