Is the Jaco Pastorius story known well over there? I'm pretty sure it happened in your area (quite a while ago though)

How do you feel about your Nirvana mixes vs the Scott Litt stuff these days?

Do you notice any health problems associated with not having a second kidney? Like getting fatigued more quickly?

Hey! Fellow T1 here!

Just wondering - would a good course of action be to try and minimise the amount of insulin you need? So eating low-carb, keeping sensitivity up by working out and/or medicinal vodka? I know eating paleo/keto makes my BG's much easier to keep under control and I guess in your situation using as little insulin as possible will mean less allergic reactions...

Hey Juan! Thanks for doing this AMA! I'm a long-time TMV fan, saw you guys at the North Sea Jazz fest a couple of years back and just last month in the Paradiso, great stuff. You guys have been very influential on me and a lot of musicians my age from my region, leading to a lot of bad experimentation with time signatures in the middle of Holland ;)

What's the recording process like with TMV? Do you get parts, do you guys improvise on a groove that Omar and Cedric think of?

What's that red Digitech pedal you use in the Rig Rundown vid, is it the 20/20?

How do you study odd meters? Do you use the Indian konnakol / 'takedimi' system?

How big is the Mahavishnu Orchestra influence in you guys?

Lastly, I'm a guitar player myself (jazz student in Amsterdam, lots of fusion and prog in my own time) and looking for using a bass amp for extra low end and effects purposes. Aren't you using the new portaflexes? How are they?

Oh and do you ever do session work for young composers like myself? ;)

Thanks again! And any tips are welcome!
