History

[edit]

Bass Frontiers Magazine was created in Nashville by Jim Hyatt in 1994. It initially began as a small newsletter circulated among a few hundred bassists. The publication quickly grew and became the second biggest bass publication at the time. In January 2008, Dave and Jonathan Fowler purchased the magazine from Jim Hyatt and decided to make it an online publication only.[2] The magazine features artists such as Billy Sheehan, Rhonda Smith, Leland Sklar, T.M. Stevens, Rickey Minor, Don Felder, Felix Robinson, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Flea (musician), Chuck Rainey, Darryl Jones, Geddy Lee, Mark Hoppus, Gene Simmons, Stanley Clarke, Francis Rocco Prestia, Will Lee (bassist), and Randy Meisner.[3]
