YOUR QUESTION

Hello, Mr. Dunn!
Wanted to ask some questions, like do you prefer steel or nickel wound strings on electric bass, Why Precision and not JB, What do you think about short scale 30" basses, why you've never used Stingray basses (or i've never saw you playing them), how did you managed to avoid the abuses that killed some other great musicians etc. Then started to think all of them are dumb!
Wish you all the best, please continue to produce and share with us your music. Thank you very much again.

MY ANSWER

I prefer nickel. I love Jazz Basses and would love to own one as well as my Precision. I can’t play all the basses. I tend to find something I like and stick with it. I like short scales; I have a newish Mustang that I’ve barely used. Some very intelligent people have fallen victim to abuse. Sometimes they victimize themselves, other times it’s a coping mechanism to deal with trauma. I think one thing that helped me was having a very stable environment when I was young and the freedom to make my own choices while having role models to consult.
