Scott Devine Overwater Expression Demo

[devinebass]

Hey guys thought i'd let you have a listen to this. Overwater asked me to record a short demo of their 'Expression' bass to put up on their website so i decided to have a quick widdle around the days of wine and roses. I tried to do a bit of chordal work, some soloing and some walking to show what a broad palette of sounds can be produced. Here it is...

I'll say it again Scott - nice work - I can hear that you're using a pick but it sounds really good - very guitar-like but in a good way.

Lol, yeah i'm using a pick on this one... it comes from my obsession with Steve Swallow. I don't generally use a pick but i think it sounds great on acoustic basses.

Easy man,

Well yeah if you;re going to choose one pick player who is head and shoulders above most others (aside from Carles Benevent) then Swallow is THE man - such an awesome player and all round musician - he's at the London Jazz Fest in Nov with John Scofield if you wanna catch him - Bill Stweart on drums and a second set with the Scottish National Jazz orchestra... should be a cracker.

Yeah, i've been thinking about coming down to that. He played over in Manchester not so long ago with Mike Walker and Gwilym Simcock but i missed it as i had a gig. A friend of mine went to check it out and said the entire gig was killin.

Carles Benavent... also a great, great player!

Easy man,
