Guy Pratt sits down with t5m to continue down the timeline of his monumental career in music. He explains the move away from rock and punk music into branches of experimentation in genres like jazz and disco.

This shift, which he explains was started with Michael Jackson’sOff the Wall,’ led up through the early 80s, or ‘the glory years of the bass.’

“You couldn’t be too loud, too flash, or wear it too high.”

Guy also takes a moment to show off his perfectly sculpted and bodaciously attractive thumb, so formed by years and years of ’slapping,’ or playing the bass.
