I have just launched Basscast, the podcast for bass players and lovers of the bottom end.

Each edition has news about bass oriented gear, CDs, DVDs, books. There's also a feature CD and tribute to an influential player.

Basscast 1 features Victor Wooten and Charles Mingus.
Basscast 2 features Glenn Hughes and Flea (and is co-hosted by regular TBer Petebass).
There is more episode information at: http://basscast.libsyn.com

The easiest way to subscribe is:
1. Download iTunes 4.9 from Apple, if you don't have it already.
2. Click on "Podcasts" at the right side.
3. Click on "Advanced" on the menu bar.
4. Click on "Subscribe" and copy this into the dialogue box:

Feedback, news items and show suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Basscast 3 will be out soon. The feature CD is "Silver Rain" by Marcus Miller. Step back in time is "Word of Mouth" by Jaco.

Basscast 4 will feature "Ohmwork" by G/Z/R (Geezer Butler). SBIT will be Zappa's Bottom - Part 1. The first part in a series on Zappa's bassists. Any preferences where we start?

Woo hoo. Marcus Miller! I was fortunate to see him in Aspen a month ago. Very cool!

Thanks again for the cool service.

Tom Fowler it shall be. The segment is being hosted by Dave Marshall, bass player in Petulent Frenzy an awesome band that plays only Zappa material. They are the real deal with xylophone / marimba, horns etc.
