Bilbo Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Just a bit of fun. I was playing about with my Wal in Cubase, got to overdubbing and came up with this piece of nonsense. Two minutes of random noodling [attachment=21404:Wal_Street_Crash.mp3] Quote
thisnameistaken Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I like it, reminds me of Bakithi Kumalo a bit. That Wal sounds awesome BTW. Quote
urb Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Really nice Bilbo - all I can say is please post more tunes - this is the place to let off steam! This tune reminds me of something I recorded a few years ago - also in Cubase before I converted to Macdom - the Afrcan vibe really suit the fretless - and yes the Wal sounds ace. M Quote
Thunderthumbs Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Nice. Reminds me of Percy Jones' bass on Brand X "Products". Quote
AdamWoodBass Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I'm liking this, hearing a bit of Trip Wamsley in there. Quote

Reminds me of Percy Jones' bass on Brand X "Products".[/quote] That was kind of what I was hearing too. PJ was an early influence but we are talking 25 years ago and I haven't heard Brand X in 2 decades. I guess, it being a Wal Custom Fretless, it was his (or John Giblin's) bass!! For the record, I have not heard Trip Wamsley. I will look him up tonight (only limited internet access at work). Edited March 4, 2009 by bilbo230763 Quote

You still need to bum Bilbo for the naff-jazz song title, but you'll need to give him the reach-around for the music. Quote

Just really different and eclectic (sp?? hmm whiskey is baaaaad!! Oh sh*t it's a thursday night too!) Anywho, this just reminded me of his fretless playing on a tune I can't remember the name of. Dead good! Quote
Bilbo Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 I had seen one of those Trip videos before but not anything like that which you describe. If you find a video of it on YouTube,let me know! Quote
urb Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Hey Trip Wamsley is great - but I also rather like Jeff Schmidt - yes this is 'extended' solo bass noodliing - but his fretless sound is rather lovely and he's got some great ideas (for a guy who plays his bass back to front and upside down ) M Quote

lonestar Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Very nice Bilbo. I hope that you're not still too tender after BBC's visit to post some more. Edited March 6, 2009 by lonestar Quote
doctor_of_the_bass Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Very nice, some lovely fills - some subtle Jaco-esque phrasing, combined with a Karnish-Jones feel! Quote
AndroWal Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Bilbo! A melodic-grooving man you are! Love it. Keep doing it until your dying day. Andro PS From one Wal-man to another! Edited March 20, 2009 by AndroWal Quote

I don't think we even need to vote or have a poll on it do we!? Quote
