‘Three Worlds’: Nathan East Leads the Funk with His Signature Yamaha and Laney Rig

Nathan East showed up with his signature Yamaha bass and new Laney amp and just owned it. The session, called “Three Worlds,” is a straight-up funk workout with Erick Walls (Usher) on guitar and John Paris (Earth, Wind & Fire) on drums. It all went down at Angel City Drumworks in Burbank, and from the jump, Nathan’s tone, feel, and pocket are locked in. He’s the glue here, making it look effortless while holding the whole thing together.

Hit play below to catch Nathan in full groove mode, doing what he does best with that Yamaha and Laney rig dialed in just right.
