A quick improvisation testing the repairs to the preamp in my Cort Curbow 6 string bass.

G Jam

Here's the streaming version of my contribution to RPM 12, all written, performed and produced in February 2012. 

It is a varied collection ranging from a string quartet inspired by Frank Zappa, and a jazz duet to hardcore punk, prog rock and drum & bass.

Outburst

Busqueda

A quick try out of my new Yamaha TRB1006J bass. There are 3 tracks of bass with different pickup/EQ settings and no effects or editing to give a true idea of its tone.

TRB Jam

A quick one take demo of a new tune I'm working on. The tuning is a bit weird on this one - 6 string Yamaha bass tuned, low to high, AFACGB

There are no overdubs or loops on this demo, just one performance recorded mainly to remind me of how it goes!

Growing Demo 20 May 2012

Another one take demo of a track I'm working on. Standard tuned 6 string Yamaha bass with no looping or overdubs. Bit sloppy but recorded to remind me how it goes so far.

Zombie March Demo 20 May 2012

My favourite Bee Gees song, arranged and recorded this evening as a tribute to Robin Gibb who sadly passed away yesterday, 20 May 2012.

I Started A Joke ( Tribute to Robin Gibb)

Not a composition by any stretch, just 8 mins of improvisation, trying out some new (and old) techniques and harmonies.

One take of 6 string Yamaha TRB1006 bass with some reverb and compression.

Who Left The Tape Running?

My first track for Phase 2 of The Positive Songs Project https://www.positivesongsproject.org/ where there are specific challenges.
For this one, I'm ticking off three in one:
Rhapsody In Blue - an instrumental
Simple Sauce - record on your phone
So It Goes - an unfinished song

This is a short guitar piece that may or may not become something more complete at a later date. Maybe.

Just A Thought

A little demo of Status Hotwire halfwound strings on my Yamaha TRB1006. Both bass parts are the TRB with both pickups on and all the EQ controls are set flat.

The two bass tracks were both first take improvisations.
