Justin Meldal-Johnsen is an acclaimed bass player whose driving, energetic bass lines have earned him spots on stage and in the studio with a wide variety of the world’s top acts, from Beck and Nine Inch Nails to St. Vincent and M83. He’s also an accomplished songwriter, producer, and musical director with enough credits from those roles to rival those he’s earned as a bassist. This week, he visits with host Josh Paul and shares some fantastic insight on his creative process, working with artists, what gear he uses, and great stories from the studio and the road.
