bassfunk Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi Guys Towards the end of last year I went into the studio with my new jazz quartet. I've been playing jazz and double bass for around 9 months so there's nothing flashy. My bass is an Antoni debut with Innovation Silvers, again nothing flashy. We recorded at Basschat's very own Cheddatom's studio: [url="http://www.rifffactoryrecordings.com/"]http://www.rifffactoryrecordings.com/[/url] Have a listen [url="https://thesilvermoonquartet.bandpage.com/"]https://thesilvermoonquartet.bandpage.com/[/url] We're still working on a website and need a proper photo shoot. I'd appreciate any feedback on improvements on playing, sound and your general feedback. Big thanks to Tom who was rally easy to work with and made this a really relaxed easy process. Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1978 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sounds great I play a few of those tracks with a trio I'm in so it's nice to hear what you do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's a nice sound you have there, it doesn't sound like a inexpensive bass. And the playing is great, considering you've only recently started playing DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfunk Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks guys.I've found the transition surprisingly easy. But I do struggle further up the neck and really need to look at thumb position - this scares me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nice sound, I've been playing for a similar sort of time really... Well, I started with a Stagg over a year back, and I didn't get into it, until I changed the awful strings it came with.... much better now I bought a Boosey & Hawkes from a fellow BC'er and have never looked back One thing I have done, is initially to sort of "strip back" my playing I was firstly trying to play the DB like I play bass guitar, but that didn't work so well for me Nice to hear that you've made the switch easily I fitted Innovation SIlver Slaps to my bass, and I like them How do you feel about them?

bassfunk Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks Marc I started on the Stagg too. It would be good to hear some of your playing. I've got Super Silvers on my bass not the slaps.But I really like them,good low tension and they seem to add a lot of depth and Character.I tried Honey's and they were good, but the Silvers just appeal more to me.

geoffbassist Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I like the cool guitar tone at the start and the bass playing is really tasteful and solid. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfunk Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks Geoff. The guitarist is a great player and carries the rest of us quite a bit. With my (limited)vocabulary solid and tasteful is what I was going for. I love your YouTube lessons by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
