His bass tone is probably the most rich and badass I've ever heard.

[kimyjo]

The “Lights Out” bass solo, said by the man himself, it was the most difficult to perform at first and yet it’s the most iconic part of that song for damn sure.
- Also that Orange Jaguar is like sex on lava.

[AeromatterYT]

I'd left my bass for ages from making slow progress, but hearing Mike talk about lining up his interest with his ability level is actually really encouraging. Started practicing again today :D

[thewomanwithnohead]

OKAY, we get it, nice innovative bass, NOW SELL IT TO US PLEASE.

[brianhuynh]

Fender/Squier will give us a hundred signature P basses that are nothing more than different color schemes but won’t give us the Mike Kerr signature Jaguar or Starcaster. Which will be something original and Something us bass players have been asking for!

Heaviest sounding rock duo in. a while. For just 2 guys it's a wall of sound.

[harrypalmer]

I’m just saying, a Mike Kerr Signature Jaguar bass would be pretty cool

[Alisonflynn]

Glad to see my favorite band blowing up. Rock on!!

[DevinCLott]

Fender we need a Mike Kerr signature ASAP. Everyone would buy it and it would be amazing

[ER]

I love how Mike was mentioning this GS he can't do. That makes him feel so much more human and real

[Lisogarcia]

they r definitely into muse but hearing that directly from mike is amazing!! Muse is my favourite band and you just simply can't not love royal blood!!

[Tcflohr]

These guys put on such an incredible show.

[JoshFryer]

That orange bass is my favorite bass, period. I saw him play it at Bonnaroo last year and it sounded, and looked, amazing! 🤘

[charlieb]

Pretty damn humble. The man may not play the most technically impossible stuff but the coordination to play and sing both parts with nothing to hide behind is a different type of mastery. I’m sure talent is an element of it but I’m very confident the care put into constructing and time spent practicing these songs is where he sets himself apart. Royal Blood, Bloc Party and Muse have long been my inspiration to build my independence between simultaneous vocal and instrumental parts. Absolutely removed the excuse of “no one can/does do that” and I’m thankful that they did

[Nergal_Slayer]

The Lights out solo is so fulcong sexy. Thanks Mike and Ben.

[marioesquivel]

You fender guys should start making the costum made mike kerr bassses, i would love to have another jaguar but with a big ass humbucker!

[joshgreene]

[philusschwiftikusreaction]

„Use Fuzz a lot and got Really into Muse“ i like this guy

[LuciferianStrings]
