Contribute your questions to the new Jamirotalk interview
.....with PAUL TURNER - bassist of Jamiroquai
Hi party people,
After interviewing the keyboarder , percussionist , and the guitarist of Jamiroquai, it's time to hear some statements from the new funky bassist PAUL TURNER.
The jamirotalk.net team has already thought about some questions, but we decided to get all members of jamirotalk involved in the process of finding questions. Please leave your questions here in this thread.
After a while we will close this topic, compile the team questions and add a "best of" of all your suggested questions to the interview! And then we just have to wait for Paul's answers!! 
Let's do it! 
What do you want to know from Paul Turner?
Mouse

Great idea meike 
hmmm... but that´s a little bit tricky. ... ´cause he is sooo new!! 
well, i would like to ask him :
- has he liked jamiroquai, before he started to be their bass player?
- is he interested to " write" songs for jamiroquai?
- what kind of music does he like ?
- he hadn´t played any song on the new album dynamite.. was difficult for him to learn the songs sooo under pressure ´cause the tour " was waiting"
......
that´s all for the moment... perhaps there will be some more

Meike,
Thanks for letting us contribute to this.
My question would be how long did it take for him to learn the songs: past and from the present album? Did he have a knowlege of them before joining the band, or did he have to learn everything?
How long was the audition process and/or how long were they considering him as the new bassist?
Have a good weekend y'all.

Here are my questions:
1. What is the one thing you would like to take with you from this experience playing with Jamiroquai?
2. What were your feelings when you were told that you'll be part of Jamiroquai?

Hey!
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity CosmicMouse!
My question is this:
Jamiroquai have had a few different bassists over the years...taking into account the expectations of the fans and the success of the band, do you ever feel under pressure when you perform?!
Claire.x.
P.S. Paul, you're a great bassist!

Technical Side Of The Bass
I am developing a site named JamiroTabs.com which will host all the old guitar and bass tabs that were once at Funkin.com and also provide equipment information for members of Jamiroquai past and present. I have collected a wealth of information for most Jamiroquai band members except for Paul.
My question for him would be: "What is your bass rig like? What equipment and or pedals do you use on stage?"
Thanks,
Mike Olsen

Is there a jamiroquai song which the band doesnt play live but
you want to perform it very much?
Analyzing Stuart Zender's playing what
things in his style do you like the most? Did you ever meet him
in person? What do you think about Nick Fyffe style?
did you change your bass sound and playing style & approach when joined jamiroquai?
which is the most exclusive vintage bass in your collection?
speaking about your gear: amps, effects and pick ups do you tend more to use oldschool style ones or modern ones?
