Not sure if I ever posted this when we released it... It's a live studio performance with [url="https://www.facebook.com/NarcissusUK"]Narcissus[/url]:

If you don't like self-indulgent jazznoise, look away now. ;)

Nice one Huw! This is wicked! I really like the other vid you guys have up as well (Mirror Stage). Great stuff!

Another new one... Got some free time at the moment so I'm just enjoying being able to play!

YOU!!!

I am pretty sure it was a video of you playing that Precision that made me think for the very first time "hmmm, P basses can sound really good!"
And if it weren't you, this video does it again x10.
Lovely playing and beautiful tone, thank you for posting this!

Good solid playing for only 10.5months or otherwise!

If I may comment on technique, left hand looks like you've been taking lessons for 10 months and have been taught well, or you are very observant of the best bass players, it's spot on!

Right hand technique can be much bolder to reflect this and get a punchy sound. I would recommend lifting the hand away from the bass and forming a bridge, anchored by your thumb with fingers a dancing (have a look at jamesbass116 excellent Jamaroquai rendition just above yours for example - his wrist looks a sharp angle but I suspect if he was standing his elbow would come forward easing that angle).

Here's a recent video of my band playing at the Leadmill in Sheffield while we did a few dates with The Joy Formidable.

This is a regular in my gospel band set, played it literally hundreds of times, let me say that Huw is making this look easy!

Great tone, excellent paying, thanks Huw, inspiring.

Here's my latest bass video! Kind of a bit so-so about it. I don't feel a proud as I did my last one but I don't think I did badly... haha!

I think you've got great feel, love the little passing and grace notes.

Hope you're in a good band and not keeping all this to yourself.

If I had any comment, and it's only a personal thing, I reckon almost all this could all played in the first position, going up strings rather than up the fret board. Anything above the fifth fret isn't for real men!

Much better than I am anyway, and I'd probably been playing for 10 years before you were born!

Very clever and doesn't sound contrived, and the reverse stuff at the end, I like it.

I'm also going to go away and copy that harmonic intro for sound check showing off!

Thanks for the feedback and the compliments! It's really appreciated.

I'm playing around London in a few bands of various styles quite a lot so I'm definitely getting myself out there, which is really fun.

Trust me, 5th fret and below is definitely my favourite place to be.. haha.
Some of the moving up the neck rather than staying in position was a conscious decision just because of the tone I wanted to get. So I was pretty aware of what I was doing and why!

That was completely stunning, absolutely brilliantly executed. I was listening in awe.

Amazing vocals too, and (she says lowering the tone and being a bit girlie) god gosh he's hot :P
