 “The higher up you wear your bass, the more it makes you think about what you’re playing. I don’t want to think that much”: Tim Lefebvre explains the belt-level placement of his low-slung P-Bass

Tim Lefebvre of The Tedeschi Trucks Band performs at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on July 25, 2014 in Denver, Colorado.

The visual for one of the hippest bassists on the scene is simple: 6’4”, with a low-slung, flatwound-strung P-Bass. Asked about the belt-level placement of his bass, Tim Lefebvre offers, “The higher up you wear it, the more it makes you think about what you're playing. I don't want to think that much.”

Thanks to his laid back demeanour, and a fearless improvisational sense, Lefebvre has become the bass player everyone wants to work with. His mastery of effects pedals has also earned him hero status among working thumpers.
