The drummer from the Zender video thrown in for good measure and poorly executed grooves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you imagine quite well, I've watched or heard almost everything he's made and can also recommend his album with Michael Manring and Dominique Di Piazza, which is not permanent show off, but virtuosity. I also owned a Noguera YC 8 fretless, what an excellent bass, but sometimes friends can push you to a sale... Yves even sold me some sets of strings for the bass and gave me a few advices on how to use the bass and why is tuning it lower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybass Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Both the 7 string and the sender clips are just odd. They both leave me with the same question…filming it is one thing..but then to edit and upload them?? Really??? anyway I’m off to listen to space cowboy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I used to speak to Yves every now and then back when I had Facebook. Him and Jean Baudin are the reason I play ERB and really why Binky came into existence. He then ordered a 2 string bass from Jon Letts. He's of course dead to me now...

ped Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Going back to the original vid, the interviewer seems to be absolutely spellbound by this guy’s aimless slides and ill advised plonking.

Everyone will have seen players who have walls of Alembics yet nothing more exciting than three chord blues. I hope he is getting on better with it now but I expect that it's probably being used as an ornament. I fail to understand the connection with bass ownership and musical prowess. There is nothing that mandates a certain level of musicianship being required to own any musical instrument. Surely it's personal choice isn't it? For example a friend of mine's dad bought him a Gibson Les Paul when he decided to learn guitar as a teenager. Buy what you like, life is too short. I play alembic in a reggae band and often there are only two chords. 👍🏾😂🎶🔊😁. Edited March 22, 2023 by jazzyvee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in the video can play decently enough too, does some fast metal w/pick passages in his videos and sounds very good doing it. He's just not a fretless fingerstyle player yet so understandably sounds like he hasn't got to grips with it. I wish I had the spare cash lying around to justify splurging 5 figures on a bass unsuited to my gigs and playing style, hell of a bass to learn fretless on that's for sure!
