Episode Two | John Taylor
In this episode of the Comfortably Strung Podcast we talk tone with Duran Duran bassist, John Taylor. As one of the biggest pop bands in history, Duran Duran's breakthrough single, the title track from 1982's Rio album, perfectly demonstrates what John describes as his “up-front” bass style, and formed the inspiration behind Dingwall’s Rio Dream Bass. Joined on the call by Sheldon Dingwall, we touch base on the evolution of John’s signature model, and his tenured history working with Rupert Neve Designs.Learn more about Dingwall Guitars.
