Hey Jammers,

The rumors are TRUE! Jeff has a solo project coming out next month. Full
details will be announced soon. In the meantime, here’s your chance to ask
him about the project yourself. Submit questions on this thread that you would
like answered before Thursday, August 28th, and the top 30 will be chosen and answered by Jeff himself. :)

Be creative and remember, only questions about Jeff’s record will make the final cut - so keep this thread for the questions.

    Oooo... exciting...

    "What were the challenges of mapping together a solo record as opposed to the usual creation process that takes place in a full band experience?"

    What inspired you as you were creating this album?

    And why has the name of the album been changed from aTONEment to just TONE? I really like the play on words of the former.

    Are there any plans at all for you to tour in support of this record? If so, you can crash at my place in Omaha. My wife will make you delicious breakfast burritos in the morning....and I will help.

    Which bass(es) did you use to record (and write) the songs on this album? What was the inspiration behind these songs and instrument selection?

    Jeff, assuming I'm right, from what I've seen of the cover, it's Icarus after flying too close to the sun. Usually, that myth is a parable for arrogance, which I don't associate with you at all! What's the story behind your artwork for this?

    How about a show at the Wilma or someplace here in Missoula Jeff, maybe a fundraiser-type thing?

    This is awesome, thanks Jeff!
    Can't wait to pick this gem up - my question would be:

    Will you be utilizing 12 string, fretless and and upright basses on this new album?

    You are awesome Jeff - keep up the super work!

    Ok, Here goes nothing ........

    " Jeff, Being as though you are a magnificent bass player to say the least, Is this solo project going to be a variation of that specific type of sound ( Bass )? Or will the main focus be on other things such as vocals, percussion, lead, rythem , or a mix of everything? "


    ex. We all know that Tool and Sublime are examples of a " bassy" kind of music sound....... ty

    Great question. I'll take it a step further-

    Do you play all the instruments yourself, and will any songs have any other artists contributing to the writing credits? Also, will we be expecting moving music and lyrics such as 'Other Side'?
