sshorepunk Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Check this You Tube clip out, it's a local bass player called Nige Clutterbuck who's been scaring the crap out of normal bass players for a good few years, I'm sure some of you know him! He's also a Rotosound rep' or was? Please take the clip in the context it was intended, a speed slap fest! (gotta say that cos this sort of thing always gets a slating), The guy is a good all round player, who can hold down a groove as well as do his crazy stuff, there is a fairly broad range of techniques featured here Warwick and Mark Bass featured also!

thedontcarebear Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 This is him getting a new custom bass from e-basses here in Peterborough too...... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQDk1Y-S84A"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQDk1Y-S84A[/url] His playing is pretty crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshorepunk Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah, I saw that one! Is that recent cos I thought e-basses stopped production a few years back, or are they still aking the odd bass? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulfinger Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I like that disclaimer: "Nigel uses a technique he calls Rhythmsync where he confesses, notes are an optional extra!" AFAIK he´s the one who played all the sound clips on [url="http://www.rotosound.com/"]http://www.rotosound.com/[/url] , including the "theme song".

ped Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ahh, the infamous 'Bass Stuido' section of the London Guitar Show. My oh my what a letdown. the entire contents of the 'Bass Studio' is captured in that clip - a couple of Markbass rigs (actually only a 6x10 when me and Kiwi got there), one Warwick bass and a few individuals gathered in dark corners presumably to escape the noodling from downstairs. The room was tucked away a bit, too - we found ourselves in some hangar and all manner of industrial warehouses before appearing back in the main room of the show. It was a thoroughly underwhelming and shoddy affair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The guy can clearly play but in those clips you can see he's just having fun - f*ck everything else like "taste". The bits I like are where he takes it easy and hints at grooves. I'd check out his serious playing though after seeing what he does when he's having fun. I play nonsense when I'm pissing around too.

sshorepunk Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Which is why I added the comment in my first post....... "Please take the clip in the context it was intended........" T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Which is why I didn't slate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ednaplate Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I remember seeing Nigel in a band years ago when I was at school. He played a Rickenbacker then. Seen him in Tescos in Walkden a few times. Great playing... but where is the tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
