Thanks for the great interview! Can you tell me which Album did you mention exactly? There is Greg Howe, Dennis Chambers and Victor Wooten but I can not find with Richard Bona.. Even on youtube there is no video of them...

The way Scott and Ian are so gracious and respectful to Justin and all of the players they interview is so awesome to see. They show so much respect to these bassists!

When Justin Raines said that he spent a year on his double thumb technique before he went public, he served up a big dose of perspective on the difference between being able to play a few licks and really have a clean technique.

Justin's description of "THE POCKET" is THE GREATEST I'VE EVER HEARD.

I had the pleasure of meeting Justin a few years ago. I'd been following him for a few years prior to that. He really disproved the "Never meet your heros" thing. What an incredibly kind, and humble person! Truly inspiring. Thank you for doing this interview, great questions all the way through.

Justin is not only one of the most skilled, gifted, and knowledgeable bassists(and drummers) in the business who has mastered his craft, but he's also an intelligent, humble, and chill dude!!! Everything he plays is a bass masterclass and he's a masterclass of playing fills without overplaying and being a distraction! He reminds me of the late great Aaron Spears who played some INSANE EXTRATERRESTRIAL drum fills and SOME HOW NEVER MISSED THE ONE!!! Yes, he plays some incredible basses but HE makes his basses SING!!! Thank you for an OUTSTANDING INTERVIEW!!! I'm inspired every time I see Justin play and hear him speak!!! Thank God for Justin Raines!!!

Absolutely man! Just wanna throw Matt Ramsey (Kirk Franklin’s bassist)if u didn’t know about him. That guy and Justin Raines are easily top 3 along with Sharay Reed in my opinion. Their playing styles are different but Matt is super melodic with his playing, picking and fills. Check him out if u haven’t!

I notices that he keeps his thumb anchored on the B string yet he keeps the other strings from ringing. I play like that too. (just not nearly as well). Is he using the right hand pinky and the ring finger to mute? I have not been able to make that work, and the floating thumb technique throws me off too.

@@gimmeagig When I switched from 4-string to 5 and 6-string bass, it took me a while and a lot of practice to adjust to the floating thumb technique. It's automatic now even when I play a 4-string. It takes putting in the work and patience.

It's cool to see a Christian gospel bassist on here

As opposed to not Christian gospel music?

The real-deals like Justin are always the most humble, encouraging and supportive musicians out there, they are always so generous with their knowledge and do everything in their power to make the whole thing as least intimidating/overwhelming as possible so that you can get there too, imo it's the ultimate act of love towards an aspiring musician, what an amazing soul this guy is!

Thanks so much you two for a great interview. Ian, I’m 67 years young and still striving on the bass, this was so inspiring. Justin you are such an inspiration. God Bless and thank you for all of your creativeness.🙏

Justin's MTD Saratoga always sounds so clean and well balanced no matter where he is on the neck. I know part of it is just his play-style, but not every bass signal comes out that even throughout the frequency range. Sounds killer!

Combination of a fantastic player and MTD being amazing bass builders!

Justin, such respect! I pray for a quick recovery from your health issues and a new kidney soon brother. You are such a bass inspiration. Thanks Scott and Ian. Your interviews are a real blessing.

Thank you so much for bringing gospel into the mix

One of the best interviews. Couldn't just get off the screen

Such a great perspective about the “no short cuts!” What most people don’t realize about all the professional musicians traveling is the thousands of hours of hard work and practicing and sacrifices they have made to be where they are and play how they play! People just want to know the secret but it’s hard work! Justin is so amazing and so nice!

Thanks for having Justin Raines on your show

We've actually done several of Israel's songs at my church and I've had the honor of playing bass on those songs. I have so much fun doing it. I don't do it nearly as much justice as Justin does being the originator, but man it's awesome to see the master at work here! Such a big fan!

What a beautiful humble man. Just a great inspiration! I found myself smiling at so many of his drops of great tips and techniques. Like you said what a treat! God bless you Justin! I learned so much with just my ears today.

Dude Is a MONSTER! reaches into your soul.

Hey Scott, Now You're crackin' the safe! Gospel music is where all the bass 'beasts' are thriving! There are some ridiculous killas on bass throughout the gospel industry. You're gonna find the most creative grooves and riffs in gospel music. I'm looking at how you two guys are mesmerized by Justin (and rightfully so because Justin is a baaaaad man!)🔥🔥🔥 Hold on to your hats bros. Because there are even more cats in gospel music that will knock your socks off! This was a great interview guys!

This was such an awesome educational content/interview for me! Thank you!

This interview has blessed me in more ways than I can describe. Thank you so much🙏

So glad to see Justin being featured in these interviews!!! I love hearing his story, development as a musician and at the same time staying so humble. Thank you Scott and Ian.

Agree... such an inspiration for musicians! Well said, Scott! Great interview!

Thanks for sharing your story of yourself with me and I will be taking my focus to a new plato ❤❤

Justin came to my church in Georgia for a Saturday morning to sit with myself and a few other bass players for a masterclass session on breaking down songs and how bass playing can affect the whole band! He is awesome and always go back to those lessons I learned then to this day!

Absolutely love Justin Raines now, your explanation of things has become an inspiration and good motivation on my bass journey

Thank you so much for this interview, so powerful. Learned so much from this video. God bless you all.

So awesome Justin, proud of you Family ❤️.

The greatest show about bass on the web. Great demo, great lesson, great interview. Big love to you guys.

Great interview, great bass player. Really inspiring. Well done Scott & Ian 🎸

I'm not a bass player but a guitar player and I enjoy watching all of the eps since they helped me open up into something more than just music!!!

We love you Justin!❤

Just stumbled on this channel and love everyones humility and respect for each other. I started learning guitar on the bass, then learned chords for rhythm guitar and finally combined my rhythm guitar and bass skills to transition to lead guitar, but i'm always awed by the amount of talent i see out there. Respect to all.

This was wholesome to watch. Keys player here but I learnt a lot! Cant help but imagine what it would be like having Kaybass on here

Thank you for the interview. Mr Raines is a great musician and he is helping us growing musicians in ways he cannot fully comprehend. May God keep expanding your territory Mr Raines.

Thanks Scott and Ian. Couple of your well composed questions were same here. Justin, thanks for being kind to us and generous with your knowledge and experience around the bass. Thanks again Scott…so on point!
