A little funky-wah drum and bass groove - with 4 digits...

[urb]

Hello peeps

Just wanted to share some of the progress I've made with the old 4-finger technique - I've been using this on a couple of gigs recently (only a little I must add) and I love the way it sounds - here's a little doodle over a drum loop with my new Epifani head and my EBS BassIQ doing a great job making wah-wah type noises.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Nice playing. I like the slower groovy parts a lot. How did you mic up the rig, or is it the camera's built in mic? I tried making a vid with my digital camera and it sounded terrible (my playing didn't help)

keep at it ;0)

Yes slower groove bits are better than the noodly rubbish here - nevermind - the mic I used on this was a seperate plug in mic that goes into the mic-in socket on the camera - I placed it near the speaker to get a 'closer' sound - the drums are still a bit quiet but they sound loud enough in the room - I use an old-ish Sony digi cam it's a DCR-PC120E - they are very good handycams.

Thanks for the comments

Cool, thanks - I might have to use my Dad's proper TV camera for some clips soon!

The fast and over the top parts are great fun - the more you do them the better the technique becomes - it is starting to look and sound like liquid!

That was really cool. As said above - viscous liquid!

Nice sound and technique! Is that Warwick Corvette you playing?

Thanks - the bass is my old Warwick Thumb NT 1990 - there are some old pics before I installed the ramp between the pups:

I just got this Epifani 502 amp and it sounds awesome just clean so next time it'll be a straight up bass and amp sound with no effects.

Cheers for the feedbacking...
