Recently, Fender linked up with professional skateboarder Don “Nuge” Nguyen to talk about his love for playing bass.
“Life without bass would be like black-and-white TV, without color, because it wouldn’t be com-f***ing-plete,” he emphatically said.
A pro skateboarder who also plays in the band Arctic and owns a music-inspired clothing brand, the Nuge totally gets that there are “No Days Off” when it comes to being creative. He breaks down the similarities between music and skateboarding while applying a “No Rules” creative philosophy to both.
Filmed by legendary photographer Atiba Jefferson, this intimate portrait follows the Nuge as he cruises the streets of L.A. in his vintage Trans Am, prepares for a show with his band Arctic and plays his kickass new Deluxe Jazz Bass. A modern renaissance man, Nugyen once again raises the question, ”Is it better to do burnouts or fade away?”
