- I often judge a band by how badly I want to play bass in it. King Gizzard is at the very top of that list.
Lucas recently paid our shop a visit and we sat down to talk about his bass skills, KG's Microtonal Universe, socks, and more.
Enjoy!

Always appreciative of Lucas's interviews. Would love to see him jump down from his riser more often.
I second this! I recall him hoping down in Berkeley 2022 and was so pumped to see it!
He can jump down on my riser any time.
Desert Daze with the where's Stu dripping Tap
That bassline of Honey at the end is magnificent
Fantastic! My head explodes just looking at that microtonal fretboard!
Lucas is like the secret sauce for the Gizzard.
Yeah he's the MSG of the already delicious melting pot of Gizz
beginners luck was spot light for him
Its sick he mentioned Phil Lesh, definitely an underrated bass player with a unique style and tone
Great video. I'd noticed he was playing new basses this tour after so many years with Mustangs. These look really great.
This series is incredible! You have to get Mike Gordon and Johnathan Coleman on here!!
Gonna work on it!!
11:40 this is why I love Gizz. I'm a newb bassist at age 43, been playing only 4 years, and Gizz songs are so much fun to learn on because as they progress as musicians, so do I.
As a fellow newb, can you give me some fun songs to learn
@melz410 Amedeo S is the UA-cam channel for you, I learned bass from his Gizz tabs.
Slow Jam 1 is the easiest. Hot water isn't hard, and fun! I spent hours grinding Horology at the start.
@@tonyloafpoundstone Omg hero, thanks!
@@melz410 if your still looking for a new piece you should try mars for the rich, tough but very rewarding to get done
@@mydrillasanjay5397 thanks, actually already learned it in the meantime. One of my favourites to play
Ha! he acts chill here but if you talk to them after a show when their adrenaline is flowing they are off the walls! Haha love this man and his band.
Lukey just seems so chill and nice
One of the most humble people on the planet. We love Lukie
you teased this so brilliantly. ive been so excited for this interview!
LOVE this so much! Thank you so much for this, guys!!
Luke is a treasure! Love this band so much ❤🔥
This is awesome, love hearing some behind the scenes from Lukey ❤️
Love the questions y’all asked Lucas. Really dig this interview!
Great great video. Thank you for creating it. All serek basses are phenomenal 🟠...
awesome interview. id love to try one of these basses some day
Lukey is such a gem ❤ great interview!
This band is incredible and I love that he uses Serek basses
Happy to hear from Lukey!
Nice! Keep it going.
I love that band, and I love Midwestern basses
one of my fav bass brands ever i hope to own one some day
Lucas is the real King of the group. Quiet and reserved but holds the bass line DOWN. Locked into a groove and marathons it!
Good stuff, Jake!
You’re a legend Lucas!
Great video!
The nuclear fusion bass line got me all 🗿🦅RAAHHHHH
lukey !! we love you!!
I love Lucas!! Harwood!
hell yeah! I don't play bass but I found this very interesting nonetheless. I've just begun dicking around trying to learn keyboard and that word of advice at the end was immensely encouraging. thanks ya'll!
Digging the new Armitage
the sticker on the bass made me really happy as a gay bassist :)
Static Electricity will always be my fav bass line
this is an awesome series Jake! would love to see other Serek bass hero’s; Chuck Jones, Justin Coleman, Gordo to name a couple
Dang I need me one of those basses that looks really sick
Honesty, humility.
Hell yeah Lukey!
great video. Yall should get cameron picton next
The mark of any true expert in their field (any field) is that they all know they don't really know anything...
Love this band. Bass player of course, under rated.
What a cool, humble down to earth bloke - he is a way better player than he is giving himself credit for here
I have that same recurring dream about drumming 😂
I've had the same recurring dream!! I'm on stage the band is counting down to the next song and I don't know what the song is ahahahah
wholesome
11:00 love this question, really struggling to find an answer better than Boston for me - that debut album is unreasonably good for a record made by one dude in the 80s
Hard to argue it's not one of the greatest albums of all time from any band, much less than one named after a city/state/country 😉
The Drones rule!
certified lukey moment
How did you manage to not show the fret board during Pleura ugh
LUKEEEEEYYYYYY
Thanks! Question: What kind of pickups did Phil Lesh use just prior to his Alembic? 😎
Fairly certain he was using BiSonics of the Hagstrom variety in both his Starfire and modded EB-3.
@@serekbasses Thanks!😎
Curious how the B-string sounds with a short scale, passive pickup in neck position, and flats.
Seems to go against the “wisdom” of some bass players: 35”+ scale, bridge pickup, and rounds just to get the string to register in a mix.
5:36 😂
Eh, theory... Sounds good either way 😅
Does his 4 string Midwestern have an ebony or rosewood fretboard? Tks
Admit it: we ALL came here in the hopes of seeing 7:39
NUCLEEEAWAWAAAAAEAAARRRR FYUUUUSSSSIIOOOOOONNNYOYOYO
"serek" means "little cheese" in polish
Indeed it does!
Great interview, that high pitched ringing in the audio is a bit rough though
Thanks for the comment. The shop is noisy, working on getting better gear!
No le entendí ni verga te amo
I love Luke's playing, but his recent choice to stick to mellow vintage tones while the rest of the band voes metal means I can barely hear him in the mix.
I agree
We'll have to get him a Lucite Lincoln, that should do it 😅
He says F# Dorian, but then he says "with a flat 2 and a flat 6." So that's not Dorian then. And then he plays an F# Phrygian, which does have the flat 2 and flat 6. Unless it has something to do with the microtonal stuff and I'm just misunderstanding, that didn't make much sense.
He meant an F# Dorian with the 2 and 6 lowered a 1/4 tone
Rattlesnake
yea he meant to say half flat 2 and half flat 6 (quartertones)
@@adams2203 this guy gets it. This is exactly what I meant. @rome8180 - I meant "half flat 2 and half flat 6"
Love the band, the player, the bass etc just disappointed to see the political statement made on said instrument...
hey man .grow up
I second what old mate said. Grow up mate. Don't get your undies in a knot over his painted nails either :)
@@chlomance What did I do? I just think its weird when artists get behind organized groups regardless of what they are.
@@spacegrass6632 I'm not upset just a bit surprised but thanks for the concern. As I said, I just think its odd and divisive for artists to back political messages for the most part. I never said I have any problem with any particular person, its the premise behind it.
@@musicman9901 you must not listen to king gizz much because their music is full of political statements, plus it's just a dumb take from you in general
