Virtuoso Bass: The Inaugural Issue

Virtuoso Bass is a refined print journal devoted to the artistry, lineage, and evolving language of the bass. More than an instrument-focused magazine, it documents the musicians, innovators, and cultural architects who have shaped modern music from the low end upward.

In this distinguished issue, Editor at Large Bunny Brunel reflects on preserving the instrument's history while expanding its expressive future. Kyle Eastwood explores cinematic composition, international touring, and the dialogue between jazz and film. Stanley Clarke offers perspective on genre, orchestration, and cultural identity, while Eddie Gómez speaks to melodic architecture and the discipline of improvisation.

The issue honors Carol Kaye and her immeasurable impact on recorded music, and features a thoughtful conversation with original member of Earth, Wind & Fire keyboardist Larry Dunn on groove, collaboration, and musical endurance. A tribute to radio host Tony Palkovic reflects on the preservation of fusion culture through broadcast, and a technical exploration of the Ampeg SVT's 50th anniversary examines one of the most influential amplifiers in the history of bass tone.

Lifestyle editorials of Bunny Brunel and Kyle Eastwood, photographed by Ash Gupta of 838 Media Group, anchor the issue visually-presenting these artists not only as musicians, but as cultural figures whose presence extends beyond the stage.
