This is my second bass that Paul built me. There were some changes that were made. Sometimes I think of changes that could be made having to do with both the sound and the feel. It's definitely a beautiful instrument. Mike Gordon basbeautifulbuild share on social

The way that we imitate each others' riffs is something that other bands don't do as much. If we're jamming with a jazz band, or I am jamming with a jazz band, I have to catch myself, the tendency is always to do that. Mike Gordon bandcatchimitate share on social
Lately Fish and I have been hooking up more, which is a good thing because it's just been a struggle for me as a bass player to play with someone who's so creative on the drums, and lately it's been really good, especially during sound checks. Mike Gordon bascheckcreative share on social
We have been trying to play a lot of different kinds of music, and probably the next album will go back more towards the direction where you couldn't classify each song as a certain kind of music. This album you can. Mike Gordon albumbackclassify share on social
There's no way we could play a country song as well as a country band or a Latin song as well as a Latin band. We could never expect to do that. We just keep doing what we do, what we know how to do. We sound like ourselves. Mike Gordon bandcountryexpect share on social
I agree with the rest of the band, that a truly synthesized sound isn't really what I would want to go for. Mike Gordon agreebandrest Change image and share on social
