  1. It's been a while since I posted anything here - been busy with music production, arranging and writing. Still play a lot of bass though, so hopefully I have the right :-) Here's a short piano based instrumental. Bass is from a Westfield P-bass clone hot rodded with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder pickups!

  2. Expert double bass and bass guitar tuition available in Glasgow City Centre. Whether you'd like to improve professional performance, add quality to enthusiasm, work toward grades, or successfully audition for music college, I can help. I believe that good musicianship with a solid foundation is the key to successful bass playing, and enable my students to develop their skills in technique, music theory, improvisation & reading in all styles of music. Students are welcome to bring their own instrument or use one from my collection during lesson time. I have 4, 5 and 6 string bass guitars, fretless bass guitar, acoustic bass guitar, double bass and electric double bass. A graduate of the Strathclyde University BA Applied Music degree, I have been playing professionally for many years.

  3. Thanks to all involved organising this event, I had a great time, and time flew on the Sunday! Excellent meeting everyone and playing all these basses :-) Jennifer
  4. I'd like to second the repairman in Strung out Guitars, he's done some great work on my amps over the years. Fair prices too. Jennifer
  5. Depends how you look at it. In terms of bass guitar technique I feel satisfied at the moment - my focus basswise over the last few years has mostly been on developing tone, effects, feel, the more abstract yet crucial aspects really. I use a pick most of the time now, for example, whereas three years ago it was always fingerstyle. It's a fascinating learning cycle, as it really goes at its own pace, you have to learn by doing it in the real world, then perceiving the results. In many ways it is a lot slower than learning to shred, but deeper and more satisfying. I'm a far better bassist for it. As far as the creating of basslines goes, one of the best things you can do IMHO is become more aware of other instruments. Jennifer
  6. Merchant City Music is a good one, they've moved to near Glasgow Cross. McCormack's is no longer with us. Usual rehearsal space is Berkeley - good price, good gear, good facilities. You can't go wrong there. Jennifer
  7. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1385308741' post='2286668'] I'll have to check out the new album. [/quote] Please do, and let me know what you think. Download [url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/home/id672684801"]here[/url], physical CD [url="http://www.horsemcdonald.com/horse-mcdonald-singer-songwriter-store.shtml"]here[/url] :-) Cheers, Jennifer
  8. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afdkxlaAb7c[/media] Still love this tune & bassline after all those years :-) Jennifer
  9. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1385133272' post='2284847'] I'd never heard of Horse until a couple of months ago. My one tutor did the string arrangement for her song 'Careful'. [/quote] Audrey Riley? It is indeed a beautiful arrangement. I wrote a couple of string arrangements for the new album, and several more for our recent show at the Glasgow Barrowlands with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The magnificent work she other noted arrangers such as Sally Herbert & Paul Leonard Morgan had done for Horse was both inspiring and a little terrifying at the same time :-) Jennifer
  10. Thanks Nige, it was great to meet up with a fellow Basschatter for some London banter! Unashamed plug: we're playing Manchester, Edinburgh, Perth, Aberdeen & Kirkcaldy next if anyone else would like to pop along, dates here :-) [url="http://www.horsemcdonald.com/horse-mcdonald-singer-uk-tour-2013.shtml"]http://www.horsemcdonald.com/horse-mcdonald-singer-uk-tour-2013.shtml[/url] Jennifer
  11. [quote name='jonsmith' timestamp='1380394106' post='2224768'] Just had another look and VT remix definitely cheaper at Sainsbury's. £4.99 with free postage. [url="http://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Music/CD/Rush/Vapor-Trails-Remix/product.html?product=E11281969"]http://www.sainsbury...oduct=E11281969[/url] [/quote] Fab, just ordered it, thanks for the shout! I don't have the original CD, so really looking forward to this. £3.99 for Clockwork Angels too, you can't complain about that. Jennifer
  12. Nice one Gary, hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think :-) Jennifer
  13. Brilliant, will be great to meet up & have a chat. See you there! Jennifer [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1375737530' post='2165078'] I shall be there. I've played there twice with Kit, it's a really lovely venue! In fact if you need an emergency support act, we come runnin In the diary. See you there [/quote]
  14. Yes! You're hearing what I hear - what more could one hope for :-) Indeed we are playing London, Bush Hall on 21st November. Part of a UK tour November / December; would be great to see you.

  15. Ah yes, there do seem to be a few others with similar names. Horse (singer) has been going since the Eighties though, so I reckon she has a good claim :-) Glad you liked it though! Jennifer [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1375734795' post='2165024'] Oh, I thought this was 'HORSE the band' [/quote]
