That would be my guess aswell :)

Indeed! You guys win a cookie!

I have a question!

How is the Joust bass getting on and do you have any recent pics of it?

[QUOTE=Low_End_Communications]Hem, I always thought it was Gene Bowdin. Oh well, people can never get my last name right either. Posega.[/QUOTE]
I can't even write down how you say my name :lol:

Geryszewski

(Yeah I can spell it)

Hey Jean Baudin, I'm just curious at what age di you begin playing bass?

hey jean, isnt it hard to play with fanned frets (if thats what they are called) because they arnt straight...?

[QUOTE=good rats]How much do your custom Conklins cost you? A lot no doubt. :p[/QUOTE]

sorry for the long delay!!! lots going on.

I have a special deal with conklin - believe me, I could not never afford to pay normal cost for any custom bass. I've been fortunate to get some extreme breaks in price on all my customs. Although, the first one I got in 1999 - I did pay about normal price at the time. They get calls about me all the time so they treat me well (a producer from G4 television just called them looking for me! hahaha).

[QUOTE=Dubhglais][guess]I'd imagine at least for his signature model that he wouldn't have to pay much, if anything[/guess]

this time I think I'll ask (if it hasn't been asked already) who are your favourite composers?[/QUOTE]

js bach, debussy, mozart, vivaldi, shcumann, etc. - and more modern: philip glass, bernard hermann, carl stalling, marco beltrami, jerry goldsmith, etc.

[QUOTE=PaulR]I'm such a fan.

I don't really have a question... but you rock :thumb:[/QUOTE]

Thanks! :thumb:

[QUOTE=PORcell]Jean - How old are you and when did you start playing bass? Also, have you met any celebrities or movie stars?[/QUOTE]

14? 15?

I don't believe in celebrity-ism... When I've met famous people, I treat them like anybody else. I've met/hung out with quite a few famous people... rock stars, basketball players, a few actresses. And I've had friends change from being regular joes to having some fame/money. It's interesting to watch from an outside perspective.

[QUOTE=HaVIC5]Mr. Baudin -

I just wanted to ask your opinion of my arrangement of Thelonius Monk's Round Midnight. I'm definitely a fan of your tapping work and arrangement, and would like to see what you think of mine. Pointers and critique would be awesome. Thanks!

(There's the thread where you can find it)[/QUOTE]

sounds good to me! keep it up.

[QUOTE=thelowsoundofbass]hey jean i really want to learn the song "it's my birthday" but the highest number of strings that i have is 5. so i was wondering if its possable to play on a 5 and if it would be possable to get a tab for it somewhere. thanks

lowsound[/QUOTE]

you can definitely pull that one off on a 5. (that album was recorded on a 6-string). I suggest trying to learn it by ear! I'll eventually tab out the "flying through the air / Impalement" bit on my website. That's the fast middle section that sounds like cartoon music before the slow part near the end of the song. whew.

[QUOTE=thelowsoundofbass]also i noticed that you have done a few songs with mike patton, have yout ever been asked to play in ones of his bands? and how is it working with soemone that is considered to be such a musical genius?

lowsound[/QUOTE]

I've talked with him a couple of times, but never recorded with him.

[QUOTE=sixxbassist90]i hear theres an 11 string being made for you. how is that gonna be tuned?
your not gonna add a lower string(c#) are you? that'd be really low :amaze:[/QUOTE]

Two are tuned (h. claw, conklin):
C#, F#, B, E, A, D, G, C, F, Bb, Eb

The Joust 11 will be tuned:
F#, B, E, A, D, G, C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab

[QUOTE=PoltikBass]Howdy! I saw some of your videos and you are just amazing. Thanks for putting up with our questions. ;)


Im not sure if anyone has asked this yet cause it would take days to read the whole thread. But have you ever played/owned/considered buying a chapman stick? It seems like it would be right up your alley.[/QUOTE]

I'm a bass player, and I do a lot more than just tapping - which you are restricted to on a Chapman Stick. I also don't like the reverse tuning thing. And they look kinda stupid too (sorry).

[QUOTE=tatter3d]I have a question!

How is the Joust bass getting on and do you have any recent pics of it?[/QUOTE]

Ken just got the pickups for it and has been making the pickup covers. I don't have anything more recent than what I've posted.... I kinda want to be surprised, so I don't want to bug Ken for more pics until it's done (hopefully another month).

[QUOTE=iAmCam]Hey Jean Baudin, I'm just curious at what age di you begin playing bass?[/QUOTE]

14 or 15 I don't remember. hahaha.

I was just hearing your songs on your "Myspace", and I must say, I am REALLY impressed. Not so much for the nuclear rabbit songs, but more for Frosty Acres. Definitely one of the most beautiful pieces ever written on bass. Just wanted to mention it.

:thumb:

*Will never be able to play it*

[QUOTE=cliffburtonrules]"Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?"

we watched that DVD over and over last time we toured the west coast. our drummer kept doing the voice of Gus Chiggins, the old prospector.

[QUOTE=ThePanicInNeedlePark]hey jean, isnt it hard to play with fanned frets (if thats what they are called) because they arnt straight...?[/QUOTE]

It's not hard at all... if you spend a few minutes on it you get used to it. The only place it gets weird is the 23-28th frets... but I don't hang out up there too much. ;)

thanks so much for the compliment! I've been surprised people's reactions to it, as it doesn't have any pyrotechnics... just a somber mood.


[QUOTE=Radiobass81]*Will never be able to play it*[/QUOTE]

Technically, it's not challenging to play... but it does use all 9-strings.

Okay, I think I got them all. Until next time!

Yeah, I have four strings. I don't tap, either. I probably won't play it :p.

What do you mean, pyrotechnics?

I'm an idiot, sorry.

hey jean man, what do you do before a gig? me a have a nice 16oz energy drink. Also are you going to put up any more vids? thanks brother.

[QUOTE=Jean Baudin]14 or 15 I don't remember. hahaha.[/QUOTE]
So there's hope for me! ;)

As for my question...I was thinking since you are like the shiz at the art of tapping. Would you be kind enough either to write a lesson and put it on your site or in the lessons section of this forum?

It would great to learn from someone such as yourself :thumb:

/suck up.

^ i absolutly agree

The fiery, flashy stuff.

My only question would be this: Do you have any affinity for Gabe from Penny Arcade?

>_>

Yeah, that lesson sounds like a great idea, in my opinion the best way to learn is to ask someone who you think is kick-a$s at it.

Plus I'd quite like to learn t otap properly.
