Solo Bass | Karl Clews

It's all about solo bass this week with the ambidextrous Karl Clews. Karl is one of the top proponents of solo bass transcriptions in the world, and he tells us how to do it as well as how his endorsement with Bogart basses came about . 

Karl began his musical odyssey at the age of 8, on the classical guitar. Having achieved a distinction at grade 8 and a Performer’s Diploma by the age of 16, Karl turned his attention to the bass guitar: ‘I was heavily into soul, funk and fusion as a teenager,’ he states, ‘and I quickly realized that it was the bass guitar that really drove and directed this kind of music.’

Some of the artists Karl has worked with, either on recording sessions or live, over the years include Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies, PJ Harvey, Gary Barlow (Take That), Ronan Keating, John Harrison (producer: Liberty X, Sugababes), Neil Conti (drummer: Scritti Politti, Level 42), Dr John,
