I was aware of Stu as a bassist but generally unfamiliar with his work. However, his massive "No Regerts" tattoo has told me everything I need to know about him. Fucking legend.

I would definitely need more, and again, it would be amazing to see Mr. Tony Levin.

To true.

First, Yes to more "Bass Tales." Second, Stu Hamm is such a great bassist, and he is a legend in his own time. However, like most legendary bassists he is such a regular guy. Definately one of my idols. And last, but not least, much love and get well soon to George the Bass Puppy.

That’s awesome definitely we need more,had the pleasure meeting him couple of days ago,what a great guy and bass player, @George, get well bud 🙂

Man, Stu is such a cool guy, he's a legend but still talks about his instruments like a geeky dude. This style of video is something I like a lot, cause i can see many basses I'll never have 😂😂

That was strange .. it was like we were sitting down to visit in his home, with a cuppa tea and having a chat / tour - I felt really privileged and right at home. I really enjoyed this vid, thanks. Bring on some more!

I never got to meet Stuart Hamm, but I almost had Stu give me a lesson when he was in L.A. He was doing a bass workshop at a school a few years ago. I didn't have any money to pay for the opportunity to learn from him and I told him so. Stu told me if I could make it out to North Hollywood I believe it was he would squeeze me in for free. What an offer ! Then my wife took ill and couldn't make it happen. Stu was such a nice human being that I will never forget his offer to me that day. God Bless Stu for his kindness

Right, I'm reading this in 2024, and I had the same thought. I'm not sure those shows or sessions went as planned.

"But if you can't have fun while you're playing with your friends then what is life all about?" What a legend.

It's a shame that he no longer seems to have his Kubiki Factor basses. That's what he was rocking when I first saw him. Get well soon, puppeh!!!

Definitely more Bass Tales please, and get well soon George 🐕🐶🐾

Yeah what the hell. My outer door is just to my right, and I ran over to check who was outside. I was absolutely certain someone knocked.

😳😳That Fretless Fender URGE 2 named "Fred"😳😳 I am a Fretless Bass player and Stu Hamm is the one who got me into learning to play Bass with his performance on the Satriani Live in San Fransisco, my first song I learned was his "Country" Song, still learning the faster parts. He is a LEGEND!!

Production on this video was top notch. High five for the editor.

Scott, I am one of your lifetime members. I actually own and got new, an original Stu Hamm Fender Urge 1. Stu, if you happen to read this, the serial number starts with SE 92#### . The Bass is mint in Lake Placid Blue, doesn't have a scratch or mark on it and still has original plastic on it. Never been outside my home, never gigged and rarely played. It's been a joy to own and sits among my herd of Basses.

Stu has been a hero of mine since Radio Free Albemuth. Thank you for having him on. Love this bass tale.

Love this style of content. Love it!!!!

OMG! “No Regerts” tattoo! Hillarious.

This post brought back some good memories about when I worked for Fender in Mexico back in the 90's. I had the honor to meet Mr. Stu Hamm and we all watched him play the Mexican Fender Signature basses we were producing at that time... Thanks for this post!!!

Please do more of these! But man, what a GREAT way to start a series - can't get enough STUUUU. Best wishes for a speedy recovery George (he's one of my favorite Woofers)!

This was excellent! Great idea!! More!!

There’s a bass player that have used mainly 2 bass brands through his very extensive career; even though, I saw videos with other unexpected basses. He’s not technical on bass sound, he would just plug it into the amp and play. But he’s a living legend and started as a guitarist and piano player. By now I think you know who I’m talking about. Through his life, millions of interviews but Not one, really NOT ONE have ever ask him what influential source (if there was any), help him to develop his creativity in his bass lines. His bass technique, etc. In few words interview him as a bass player. Please be the first one to do it while his still alive....... “Sir Paul”.

YES, MORE BASS TALES! I love this stuff. You couldn't have picked a nicer, more genuine, talented guy than Stu Hamm to start this series off! I had the pleasure of spending some time with him a few years ago. You won't find a nicer person in the music industry. Thanks Scott

YES! More of these videos! Love seeing everybody's guitars. Great stuff! Thanks, Scott.

This was a great idea and I really hope you continue this series!

I suggested this to Billy Sheehan, few weeks ago! He has a lot of nice basses too

More please! Such a joy to see someone passionately showing off his gear and giving some background without it getting tacky! Keep it up!

Absolutely we need more of those! Thanks, Scott!

Scott Thought Leader! Great idea grab for bass players. Stu is a fitting first for myself with Radio Free Albemuth being such an influential part of my musical past. I'd say more please. Bassists are people too.😎

Go back, bang on his door and say, "We aren't leaving until you bust out the Kubiki Factor!"

Great video series idea Scott! I liked it. Nice to see Stu’s basses. However IMO his best sound and trademark licks were with his Kubicki (never got that sound again). Opposite to that he has played some great stuff with Smith/Gambale but his recorded Fender sound with simply horrible.

Yes... This is awesome. Got to love hearing stories from our mentors and peers. It's awesome to make a greater connection.

Yes please, Scott. We do need more of these!

To confirm your " was there any doubt " question. I will bet heavily everybody loved this segment and would love to see more. Live long.

I was amazed that he didn't have any Kubicki basses..in my mind he's still playing them!

What an amazing vid!! Thanx a lot, all of you, who made this happen.

What a great idea, these Bass Tales! 😀 👍 Can't wait to see the next one. 😋

No mention of Kubicki? I have Stu Hamm trading card from the mid 90's. I forget where I got it maybe bass player magazine?

Why is the Kubicki skipped over? It's the most important bass of his career, surely.

Scott, 2 years later. Yes! Please! More Bass tales 😉😁

This was absolutely BRILLIANT! Love the insights into the person playing the bass as well a short history of the instruments and how/why he acquired and loves them.

Nice video ! Surprised Stu didn’t show any of his old factor basses 🤔 nevertheless , really enjoyed this vid ... been a fan of Stu for a long time 🤘

This was great Scott, definitely a brilliant idea 👍 Ahh, I was waiting for Stu to pull out his old Kubicki basses. Wonder if he still has them... 🤔

Love you George!!!! Hope you're feeling better...... Yes, we need more "Bass Tales", please!!!!!

Thank you Scott. I enjoyed this video very much. No stress, worries or hassles just fun history, musician trivia and a behind the story story. It is becoming more and more difficult to find quality videos such as yours on You Tube. So much hate talk is being produced and promoted as entertainment that watching your endeavors is always a true breath of fresh air. I would very much like to see more of this type video produced by your fine channel. In final your efforts are greatly appreciated. Please continue. Best Regards, Pops Fitch.

I was looking forward to seeing one of those.

I actually owned one of those in the late 90s. I had 300 bucks saved up when I graduated high school... my parents gave me another 500 as a graduation gift, and I spent everything on a new bass, a green Stu Hamm signature. Played and sounded great, but I eventually sold it because I became convinced it was the worst looking instrument ever made. Kinda miss it though in a nostalgia way.

You got that right my man, in both what you see and hear. The only thing I'd say is that it'd more accurate to call it a Gm(add9) chord, but that's just me splitting hairs

"Happy 2020" then proceeds to talk about upcoming tours....if only he knew then what he knows now!!😱 I guess he figures, "If you're scared, stay home". 😂

Hey Scott, you should definitely keep doing these! Seeing a legend like Stu geeking out on his basses was awesome and I would love to see more! The Urge was the first signature bass that I ever bought and, like a fool, later sold so seeing one was a very bittersweet moment but still as cool as it gets.

@Scott I like this format to be able to hear how our favorite bass players evolved from the early day and their influences. Keep it coming Scott

Too bad the Kubicki's didn't get some airtime! Owned an Urge 1 too and it was an awesome bass..but man, Kubicki's though ;)

Hey Scott, it was great to hear Stu geek out on his instruments. Please do more visits. And George, hope you're feeling better! Sending you some virtual doggie biscuits!

As a bassist, watch enthusiasts and collector of anything sentimental, I love this bass tale video.... to see equipment used for its purpose and the stories that come with it.

Scott, I'm a total beginner and stumbled across your channel on KZread many weeks ago. Just now saw this video, so I'm offering a (belated) shout-out of love to George...hope he's back to his normal doggie-self. Can't imagine life without dogs. I enjoy seeing the occasional little touches of your family--it speaks loudly of your character. Many of your videos are absolutely fascinating, some are heartwarming...all are excellent! It's like you've come over to my home for an afternoon coffee and we're just chatting! Cheers!

Scott! Great idea! The premier vid is fantastic!! Please keep 'em coming! Keeping a good thought for George!! Have a good week!!

Wow that was a lot of fun .. thanks Scott what a great video & thanks Stu .. I saw Stu play live with Satrinani in the summer of 88 I will never forget his solo .... incredible!!
