Kade Turner
Real Stories from Real Life – The Bass’yn Podcast Created, produced, and hosted by me, Kade.This isn’t your typical musician podcast.I take you inside my world of music by sharing the moments that shaped me — growing up in the bush, playing my first gig in high school, breaking countless bones, filling five passports, touring as a pro bassist, drinking ayahuasca in the Amazon, and cheating death in Ecuador. Along the way, I learned Spanish, studied psychotherapy, and mastered the language of music.I talk audio, the physics of sound, studios, and everything in between with bass players, engineers, and educators — through my own lens: honest, raw, and unfiltered. Every episode is recorded in my home studio in The Basin, at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, Australia.Subscribe, tune in for new episodes, and join thousands of legends around the world.
Episode #18 - Chatting With Zen - Buddha Bassist Kello González (Aussie & Mexico Tone Geeks Unite)
I knew Kello was a legend, but little did I think we’d have so much of the bass world in common. What a privilege and an honour to have had this chat. We dive deep into how Kello got started, and the holistic approach to music. More importantly, we emphasise the importance of being true to oneself in the pursuit of living your passion. Kello has a significant following, he’s dedicated, works hard, is great to watch and listen to, and even better to sit down and chat with. I felt this was almo...

Episode #17 - Chatting With Bassist & Creator of Bassline Publishing Stuart Clayton (An Insightful & Educational Chat)
Bass theory, reading music, playing technique…I was on the hunt to find something awesome… In 2013 I didn’t have much mobility; this then spilled into 2014 due to a Moto X accident. That’s how I discovered UK bassist & educator Stuart Clayton and his brand — Bassline Publishing. I still use them today. This episode is very cool; we got to discuss Stuart’s teaching background, how he started Bassline Publishing, and his approach to bass playing in general. If you’re overwhelmed by YouTube ...

What Do a Noble DI, Avalon U5, Modulus Flea Bass, MusicMan Sterling & Warwick Basses Have in Common…? Us, haha.. What an honour to have made this connection and had this chat. Miki is a Spanish legend bassist and founder of Escuela De Bajistas (School of Bass) in Spain. He has over 200k subscribers on YouTube and makes amazing content. We first connected during Covid, but it goes deeper than that - I actually discovered him online while I was in hospital back in 2013. This was an honest a...

What happens when you stop hiding behind gear and face your musical musical insecurities?

Episode #14 - Chatting With Joseph Carra From Crystal Mastering About All Things Audio (Production Geeks Unite)
Pultec EQ? Frequencies? Madonna? Haha — all the true geek stuff we could cram into a short time. I first met mastering engineer Joseph Carra of Crystal Mastering 11 years ago when he mastered my EP Colombia, and we’ve worked together ever since. In this episode, I finally get the chance to ask him what life is really like behind the desk. Joe shares how he shapes mixes into finished records, what mastering actually involves, and why human ears still matter more than AI. Answers, insights, and...

Episode #12 - Chatting with Fellow Basin Local Glenn Patrick on Music & Bands (Cracking a Guinness to Our Late Fathers)
The chances of bumping into another musician who lives on the same mountain out here in The Basin — and then touring with them — is pretty slim. But that’s exactly what happened! Come with us as we chat about living in a cool little town, our late fathers, touring, bands, and the music industry — all while having a Guinness. It was definitely a fun one to record. Thanks for being a legend, Glen, and I’m looking forward to our Chris Cornell tribute! I really hope you enjoy it. Support The Podc...

Episode #11 - Chatting with Bassist Paul Elliott of The Screaming Jets (What a Legend)
Very stoked to release this one. I was lucky enough to meet Paul on an Australian tour in 2024 when our bands played at The Forum in Melbourne. We instantly hit it off and became friends. His character and demeanour are unreal, and The Screaming Jets are one of the most iconic Australian rock bands. In this episode, we talk about how we met, his time in the band, and of course, the late Paul Woseen — the Jets' original bassist. Thanks for being such a legend, Paul! I really hope you enjoy it....

What a bloody privilege it is to release this! Jake has been a close friend of mine for 10 years now, and I’ve wanted to do this for a while. We dive into how we met, being in bands, boxing, fitness, mental and physical health, and what it takes to sustain a career in music without getting too jaded by the industry — all while having a serious laugh along the way. Jake is an amazing person, and recording this podcast felt pretty bloody awesome. I really hope you enjoy it. Support The Podcast ...

A long time between drinks, I realise this! Thank you so much for waiting with me as we reached 40 full-length HD YouTube videos! I promise this one is worth the wait. I even explain why it’s taken so long, and why I feel being integral to your path is critical — in this game, and in life. Thank you for your patience and all of your kind words.
