I met Magnus Sjöquist - Swedish U-Bass Supremo, and fello Kala Brand Artist - at NAMM last year. We didn't get to chat for long but among the topics that did come up were his 15-piece Steely Dan tribute band(!), his thoughts on using the bass as a lead instrument, and duetting the U-Bass with a bassoon back in his native Sweden.Magnus also talks about how he decided to take up the U-Bass... after reading a review of it in a magazine!There's also some fall-out from last week's episode that I need to address directly at the start of the show.---Ukulele Tales is sponsored by Kala Brand Music!
