Been quiet for a while on the videos front (read: OBSCENELY busy everywhere else). However, today I thought I'd put a bit of foam under the strings of my Precision and give this tune a go:



Bubinga5 requested it AAAAAGES ago, so there you go mate!

What a great tone, that sounds completely different to my P bass lol.

Very clean playing, and very inspiring.

Cheers for posting that.

A well dodgy jam from the Gasfest a few years ago.

You can hear me in the into... and can see me next to the drummer only after 2:50 ish when the camera moves!!


Dodgy sound indeed - probably not helped by me trying to play Hysteria on the fretless....

Here's a solo vid I recorded a while ago:-

Cheers, Kev[/quote]

Kevin, you have the magic touch. You have great tone in your mind and fingers and it all comes out with great beauty. Immensely expressive playing that really touched me. I can't stand this kind of solo bass normally, I think the timbre is all wrong and it sounds so much better on guitar, BUT, not in this case because it sounds rich and has its own voice. I only watched it because of what Bilbo and lowdown said. I'm glad I did because for five minutes my life was greatly enriched.

Great technique is completely pointless unless you know what to do with it, and you have an aesthetic. I sense a little hint of competitiveness in the composition, but no more, it's really really beautiful! Congratulations.

Yeh - it's surprisingly non bass like. If I hadn't seen the video I think I would have struggled to be certain what it was played on. No offence to Kevin but this musical style does nothing for me but it was impressive playing.
