Al Krow Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I'd love to see some of my fellow BCer's in action on DB and EUB to get a sense of how you guys are playing yours, what genre's you're playing and just some ideas for some great numbers to be using DB and EUB on. It'll be a nice way to see y'all in action at the same time! Now that we have the new website up and running and much greater flexibility and ease of uploading new material, if you're up for it - please do share! AK Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 https://m.facebook.com/LegacyLichfield/?locale2=en_GB There's a couple of little clips in here, you don't need Facebook to watch them, All about the bass and Johnny got a boom boom. Quote
Al Krow Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 Cheers Pete - thanks for getting the ball rolling and nicely played! You guys based in Lichfield? - That's just down the road from where I grew up! Quote
knicknack Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Nice idea! I've been working with a folk band down here called Velvet & Stone lately, really enjoying their music! Haven't had a camera one any of my more upbeat gigs but it's a start! 2 Quote
razze06 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Not the cleanest of techniques, or the best of recordings, but it's good fun Two on DB, one on EUB 2 Quote
TheRev Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Raucous action for the South West.... Edited January 8, 2018 by TheRev 3 Quote

Nice to see the EUB out live too. Quote

Al Krow Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 @JPJ - thanks for sharing that. What EUB are you playing? Quote
JPJ Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Hi Al, It’s a 5 string KK Baby bass. I’ve fitted it with a pair of J-Tone Reds and blend these with the stock under bridge magnetic pickup using a Headway EDB1 preamp. Im relatively new on DB, but having played fretless for too long to remember, I’ve found the transition easier than I expected. Edited January 21, 2018 by JPJ Quote
Al Krow Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 That's a lovely looking EUB! Do you find a 5 makes it significantly easier to play from a positional perspective or is any such advantage lost due to the greater neck width? Quote
JPJ Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) The advantage for me is as all my main electric basses are 5’s and that I only use the EUB live occasionally and then only on a few tracks, the mental translation is easier. In all honesty, the B string isn’t as authoritative as the others, and you need to be much more precise with your right hand technique to get a low C or D to really bloom. Maybe as I progress as an upright player I might get more out of the low B, but for now it’s little more than a visual/tactile reference when moving from the electric bass. My only DB experience prior to the KK is a Stagg EUB, so I don’t really feel the extra width as the KK neck isn’t as chunky as the Stagg. Edited January 21, 2018 by JPJ 1 Quote
cattytown Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 As far as I know this is the only video of me on stage. This was 17th June 1995! It was my wedding and the band got me up for a song. 2 Quote

cattytown Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 No - the band were not my band - we just thought they were the best band for a wedding - a real rock n roll party band. I am not doing much these days - I am now a solo parent to two boys of school age so I can't justify many hours out rehearsing or gigging. I am trying to improve my slab playing to a level where it could be classed as "tolerable" and maybe do the odd jam/dep and look for something when the boys are old enough to be living their own lives.
