What do you do after being one of the most important and influential bass guitar luthiers for over 40 years? You retire and start a new business building acoustic guitars, of course. Join me as I talk with the one and only Stuart Spector about inspiration, innovation, and the never-ending quest to learn, grow, and take on new challenges. If you’re looking for inspiration, you need look no further than this conversation with Stuart. I hope you enjoy.

Inspirational, innovative, creative, bassist Mohini Dey Hartsuch is at the top of her game. She’s gone from being a child prodigy in India to one of the most in-demand players in the world. Her own music breaks down boundaries and barriers and mixes rock, prog, funk, jazz, and world music. With others, there really are no boundaries to how she can serve the music.

It didn’t come easy, though. Mohini put in the work and continues to work incredibly hard to push her craft forward. Join us as we get philosophical on achieving success, dive deep into the universality of music, the power and importance of social media, and, of course, the obligatory gear talk.

Texas guitarist and bassist Nick Cañas has done everything right. He's got killer chops, and through thoughtfully produced and engaging online content creation, he has masterfully caught the eyes and ears of progressive music fans, gear enthusiasts, and the businesses whose gear he uses. It's the blueprint for staying creative in today's ever-changing musical landscape.

Join us as we discuss creativity and inspiration and add a healthy dose of the story behind his connection to NS Design and Ned Steinberger's continuing innovations.
