Hi folks,

Here's a video of some clips from a recent gig at the Amersham Arms, New Cross, London.

It was a fun gig! :)

Go, Kevin. You have something exceptional on offer there, bro. Keep up the good work.

+1 Cracking!... Reminded me a bit of IOU album (in a good way).

Must be good if Bilbo didn't say... 'it didn't swing...', or 'would be better on acoustic bass', or 'not enough beards' or 'more elbow patches'

p.s. Preston, Glasgow and Lowestoft sounds like the worst tour schedule imaginable.

Thanks Bilbo! :)

Just watched your seven string vid. Sounds really nice! (I'm guessing it's just a camera mic, but the tone still comes through). You manage to get a nice consistent tone across the instrument. I had an eight string for a while but I found it difficult to get a consistent tone, when it sounded nice on the low strings it would be too twangy on the high strings and vice versa. Maybe it was because I like to use very thin strings.
I eventually bailed on it and went back to six. I'm still always interested to hear what people are doing with ERBs though. I'll look forward to seeing some more vids :)

Thanks Visog! I'm glad that it reminds you of I.O.U. That's one of my favourite albums of all time, so if we can conjure up even a hint of that vibe then I'm very happy :)

On our last tour we did actually manage to play in both Glasgow and Preston. We've never played in Lowestoft though. I think there is a jazz club there so maybe next time! (although I agree, that would be pretty rough few days of driving if they were back to back!)

Interesting that you heard it that way, Kevin. I previously owned a Status 6 string (£1K) which I felt sounded great at one end and crap at the other but whenever you changed the EQ to address the issue, it sounded sh*t at one end and great at the other. The Harley Benton 7-string (£260) sounds even across the whole instrument and I cannot fault it. The recording was sone on the Kindle mic and the amp I was uising was a Roland Cube 60W GUITAR amp!! :lol: I guess the progress in instrument manufacture will account for the 'improvement' at a quarter of the price.

Or it could be the fact that I am using a pick and not my fingers (I had not used a pick on bass since about 1982).

I used to work with this one particular band absolutely yonks ago. I made a cheap mute and wrote this line up in about 15 minutes. I'd recommend popping the video to 480p as I'm not a tech genius with recording videos. Cheers, y'all! :)

Nice work!

Here is a promo-clip from one of my band gigs at the end of last year when we did a concert in tribute of Grover Washington Jr.

Hey Delano, just watched the video. Very well played by you and all the guys.
Bass sounds nice as well.
Excellent stuff.

Played a lot of Grover tunes in the past - great fun to play.

Somebody recorded all our Troyen set at Northumbria Uni, earlier on this year.
This track, Futures Friend, although a bit cheesy is my favourite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JicTQrRWlVM

Crazy Lady went down really well. Shame, cos I hate it :lol:

[/quote]I don`t think the sound on some of the clips did you justice. It was good though
