it’s great to be here man! i should have foreseen the confusion with SCUMflip hahahaha that’s an oopsies on my part lol. i’ve had friends call it Cum Funk too hahaha. the name took inspiration from the whole punk jazz thing, however infinitely less cool lmao id say i’m the most satisfied with anything on Scum Funk, Breathe Me In is pretty sweet, i had fun on that one, Stop Your Crying definitely showcases more of my softer, more relaxed playing, i tend to be a little aggressive when playing the bass, especially live. the only other project i played bass on would be Daughter of the Sun (2018) but listening back to it makes me feel weird, definitely some juvenile chops even for 3 years ago lol. i’ve been playing for 6 years give or take. i probably play for 4 hours everyday, i love it. i think some of the newer stuff i’m working on currently will probably be more advanced!

Hello everybody, I'm vbnd, my street name is Devon, nice to meet yall, I am a musician by profession and a bass player for about 6 years. I like to make neosoul/funk/r&b music but I also like to play as many other genres as I can (I play in a punk band on the side). Despite only playing bass for 6 years I have about 10 years of on and off guitar playing, I guess playing the bass is what really hooked me into music. I currently only own one bass, a Fender Squire Affinity series precision bass (I think I'm not too sure, I'm not too well versed in gear i just like to play) and a simple little bass amp (Traynor Smallbloc 112 or something lol). I also have a q-tron pedal that I use during live gigs and on a song called "In a Fugue State". I release music under the name "vbnd" with my close friends usually titled under "the Soulmate Collective". I'm not looking to promote my music here or anything of the sort, I just really like the idea of talking bass with a bunch of people from across the world. I'm sure everybody in my nearby vicinity is sick of hearing me play/talk about bass so it'll be nice to be among some likeminded folk. If you ARE interested in my playing then I will link the latest project I did at the bottom of the post. I wrote all the parts for all the musicians and played bass on the album, we recorded it live at a studio in Saskatoon, Canada during August 2020. If you have any questions about what I do or whatever else please let me know, I'd love to have a chat! the album --> https://open.spotify.com/album/2P1fuWddqtYvO0IzQHz0c4?si=a-Y3Vf8rSOeZgzENx4YGrQ <iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/2P1fuWddqtYvO0IzQHz0c4?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="380" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture"></iframe>

Hey y’all! vbnd here, just browsing the internet and found this thread, i am very honoured by all the kind words you guys said! ill let you in on a little secret though, i play a fender squire bass, i think it’s an affinity series?? i’m not sure. but my strings, they’re rounds! i’m not sure what brand, i bought the bass from a friend 6 years ago and i’ve never changed them, not sure how long that friend had the bass either. you know what they say, the funk is in the gunk hahaha. anyways, thanks for checking out the band and our stuff! i look forward to maybe hearing back from some of y’all! cheers
