He plays his Bass like a Hammond B3 Organ, kickin’ bass lines along with chords and melodies, with his left hand bass locking with the groove of the Drums while his right might lay down chords under a Guitar solo. He calls it “Tap Bass”, because that’s the technique he uses to get contrapuntal on us; tapping (instead of plucking) the strings on his Bass to get those notes he wants. “The groove is the most important thing” says Haller, smiling at the thought.
