You step up to a mic and… boom… suddenly you’re very close to not being alive anymore. As Die So Fluid frontwoman ‘Grog’ Lisee told Bass Player back in 2012: “I got electrocuted onstage. It was really bad: there was a huge blue arc of electricity, and I was shot back off the mic. Sometimes a bass part comes from the lyrics, or sometimes a riff sparks off an idea. Also, the bass part is a lead line in itself, so I don’t need to go all over the place.
