Cotsey Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I recently purchased a fantastic solo bass album by a relatively unknown bassist from UK - Andy Saxton He merges a lot of music styles on this album and the bass always manages to be the main focal point Check his playing out - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAmX3yDkx2M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAmX3yDkx2M[/url] Solo album preview - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CnC9d83boE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CnC9d83boE[/url] Some great transitions between tapping/ slapping / strumming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't believe there's any such animal as a Great Solo Bass Album though The nearest you'll ever get is instrumental dub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blamelouis Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Great technique but as entertaining as a dripping tap. And the guy can play but... Great music is about interaction , even Michael Manring who i love , sounds ten times better with other musicians. Just playing devils avacado.

retrohelix Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Brilliant bassist and music IMO. Lots of technical stuff, but I find it to be more musical than gratuitous, which is quite a hard thing to accomplish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 it's all true - it's not just technique over taste, some great music too. Salutes to Andy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The unknown Andy Saxton who's sponsored by Warwick and lives in Watford, Herts?? Might be the same fella.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m of the opinion that you may as well have a Great Solo Snare Drum Album,it`s just as valid and it`ll probably sound as musical. Sorry Capt Bass,just my opinion.
