marcblum Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Knowing Adrian for 20+ years, since he started playing gigs in the region around Aachen, Germany, I wonder if he is known outside Germany and Poland. Because I really admire his bright musicality and he melody-centered way of playing I'd like to give same hints for those who are interested in bassplaying beyond technical wizardry and showing off. Here a example of his beautiful melodic playing: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbzqG--CDuc&feature=youtu.be&t=2m34s[/media] His wonderful quartett Gadu Gadu combines european folkloristic music with original compositions: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzC4h8FG9lw[/media] [i](please note that I'm aware that Adran promotes his own series of instruments and equipment, but I just want to shed some light on this great musician)[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 That blue bass sounds fantastic! And the tune he plays at the end of the video is nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpalt Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Adrian is a lovely guy to deal with if you are thinking of buying a bass. He even threw in a superb leather strap and free shipping when I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
