endorka Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Guitarist Gordon Turner and myself accompanied Horse playing her new song "Heaven Can Wait" on "The Hour" on Scottish Television yesterday. We're quite chuffed with the result so thought I would share it here :-) You can find the song at the following link, it's in Part 4 about 6:00 minutes from the start; [url="http://player.stv.tv/programmes/the-hour/2009-10-05-1700/"]http://player.stv.tv/programmes/the-hour/2009-10-05-1700/[/url] There is also an interview with Horse at the beginning of Part 4.

waynepunkdude Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Very well done. Why does she call herself Horse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endorka Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks folks! I was really pleased with the bass tone they managed to achieve, it sounds well deep through my stereo. Just a single microphone pointing towards the bridge/treble side f-hole, not more than a foot away from the instrument.

Love the place, lived there for years. fatback[/quote] <plug> Come over and see us when we play the MacRobert Centre in Stirling on October 17 :-) </plug> No seriously, we are normally a five piece, also with keys/vocals and drums, and it is a great band and great show. The drummer usually does the "stirring the porridge" thing with brushes on the snare drum during that particular song, so it takes a lot of concentration to create the correct feel of the tune without him.

Rayman Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Great deep tone from the bass, it's hard to beat a nice upright sound, very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endorka Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for the comments folks :-) The sound people were happy to use a mic for the double bass, which I always think sounds better in low volume situations. It is really strange hearing the double bass from the listeners perspective, as it always sounds different from when I am actually playing it. Presumably being behind/above the instrument considerably affects the tone and volume, as I always perceive it as fairly thin and a bit quiet. I'm getting better at adjusting to this discrepency as time goes on, although it can still surprise me sometimes. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Lovely! The bass sounds great, and the interplay between the two guitars is fab. Nice one... I love playing things like that where there's loads of room for the bass to bloom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't feel the need to overplay or anything, just let these big fat carefully chosen notes ring out with meaning :-) The album version of "Heaven Can Wait" has some more instruments on it; rhodes, organ, drums, and some strings.
