Great Solo Bass Album

[Cotsey]

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

Indeed, Captain Bass.

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.

Awesome!

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.

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...

[paul_5]

it's all true - it's not just technique over taste, some great music too. Salutes to Andy!

The unknown Andy Saxton who's sponsored by Warwick and lives in Watford, Herts??

Might be the same fella....

This is unexpected.
I totally agree.
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.

Well, I liked it

Great stuff Andy, well crafted and slickly put together.

Wow. Not really my kind of thing but those are some serious chops. Tastefully done too. Sounds really good.
