I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.
I'm a fan of many different styles of classical and symphonic music. 
I plan on doing a lot more work on my own, and discovering and doing more. 
And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part. 
If I had to do it over, I wouldn't change a thing. 
It's not art, it's science. 
I've been an amature inventor for a long time. 
I love a lot of reggae, but I've never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys. 
Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable. 
I think the future looks great for music, musicians, bass players, and all we love about music. 
I'm very honored and thankful if someone says something nice about my playing, but in general I'm very critical of what I do.
