Guest contributor Fred Pucci was drawn to the bass at the age of 16 and has been playing ever since.

In his words:
  • “While some people gravitate towards the lyrics of a song, and others marvel at a good melody or solo, I hear the bass. I feel the bass. I marvel at a good tight groove – one that you feel in your bones, one that makes you want to move!”
  • Recently retired, he is now working as a freelance writer and gigging on the weekends. He has a degree in Marketing and an MBA which he used to refine his writing and marketing skills at Nabisco (… and yes, he was the “Cookie-man” before becoming the “Bass-man”!)
  • That combination of love of bass and writing makes him an excellent fit on our team.
  • As he says: “I try to be a voice for all the regular, everyday bass players out there who love music, and are just trying to be a little bit better today than they were yesterday.”
  • Fred is our trusted editor on the blog and of various upcoming publications as well as the head coach of our cohort programs.
