What's up and welcome to another episode of the Scott and Ian show on the SBL podcast.

0:06.0

It's getting a little chilly outside.

0:08.0

I don't know about where you are, but I'm just outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States, near Canada.

0:14.0

And it's getting a little chilly.

0:15.0

Therefore, Midwest formal baby, got my flannel.

0:18.0

Did my wife get this for me at Costco?

0:20.0

She did. Was there a time in

0:22.6

1:26.8

It's maddening to me. Every single jazz bass I pick up, I think like, this should probably play like the other one or sound like the other one, and they don't. We're going to dig into that. It's going to be a really fun episode, you guys. Let me tell you what's up at SBL. We have a brand new course that came out called the art of the duo with John Patatucci. It came out last week.

1:47.1

And I got to say, new course that came out called the Art of the Duo with John Patatucci. It came out last week.

1:47.0

And I got to say, if you've never played duo music on the base, it's something you should
