Jean Baudin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Baudin is known throughout the world for his work with Nuclear Rabbit and Element of Surprise. Jean's style mixes intense tapping, slapping and fingerstyle. His collection of extended-range basses now includes the world's second 12-string single-course bass, built by JP Basses. Primarily self-taught, Jean has studied privately with guitarists Marty Friedman and Jason Becker as well as bassist Wally Voss. Over the years, Jean's bands have shared the stage with groups such as: System of a Down, Papa Roach, Alien Ant Farm, Deftones, P.O.D., Linkin Park, AFI, Green Day, Mindless Self Indulgence and Bad Brains.
Jean is currently working on a Solo CD that will feature solo pieces on 9, 11 and 12-string basses, scheduled for release in 2007. He also has an instructional book/dvd in the works for tapping on 5-string (and above) basses.
On Friday, February 16, 2007 Jean announced on his blog that he has a 13 string bass being built but has not gone in to more detail since.
