| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, how's it going? Scott here from Scottsbassessons.com and I'm back with another episode of the Scott's Bass |
| 0:05.8 | Podcast. And today we've got none other than Freak Bass with us, who I, I've been following Freak Bass for the last, |
| 0:13.9 | probably like two or three years. I think I saw him playing on YouTube a few, yeah, a few years ago. |
| 0:20.4 | And then just started getting into his music and I've been |
| 0:23.5 | checking out what he's doing and boy this guy is seriously, seriously funky. I'm going to put |
| 0:30.4 | some videos of him on the in the show notes so you can check him out but he's just got such a great |
| 0:36.1 | groove and we're going to talk about who he's played with |
| 0:38.9 | we're going to talk about his influences his experiences with it when he met Bootsie Collins |
| 0:43.6 | and kind of was taken under Bootsie's wing um the full thing we're going to talk about in this week's show |
| 0:48.9 | I think you're going to really really love it now I just also want to give a shout out to all |
| 0:53.7 | the messages we've |

| 1:57.8 | process when you're in jam sessions or working with bands. It's just a key |
| 2:02.2 | skill that everybody should have. So it's the lead sheet survival guide. It's coming out in a |
