I work as a producer/engineer these days and I'm wondering if you could talk about how the business aspect of 311 works. When bands ask me about business stuff, I hold you guys up as an example of a band that clearly has its head on straight from that side of the game. It sure seems like you guys have made a bunch of really smart business moves and have carved yourself a really nice niche where you can record, tour, and make money with a VERY high degree of freedom from external pressures.
I'm still a little bummed I never got the chance to meet you when I was in LA and working on a session with John Feldmann (playing bass). He couldn't dig up a fretless and I jokingly said "Well...I could DM P-Nut on Twitter and see what happens..."
...Lemme just say this...when a dude whips out the phone number of one of the 2 guys who made you really get serious about bass...it's a bit of a trip. I think UP was being mixed or tracking was finishing up or something so it didn't happen...but regardless...woulda been a big highlight for me.
