My version of Summertime, where I play the guitar and the piccolo bass.
This should be the backing track for my Fretboard fluency and walking bass challenge at ScottsBassLessons.com

Summertime - Test - 1

The challenge of this month was a bit tuff. It was creating something to a backing track played in 11/8 (most of it ;-)) I played my homebuilt Jazz Bass with Fender std. pickups and RotoSound round wounds.
It was made in a hurry in the last minutes of the given time as an improvisation.

Oct2017Challenge

This month it was just jamming to the backing track again. I had a lot of trouble feeling the "square" rythm. Couldn't find a natural feel for it.
Played on the kit P Bass with the Custom Shop '62 Fender pickups. Strings are DR Fat Beams round wound.

Nov2017Challenge

I want to make my own recordings of a series of jazz tunes and "Take the Eight Train is one of them". The drums are from iRealPro and the bass is my old '68 Fender P bass with Thomastic Infeld flatwounds. No effects and the basslines are just for practise reasons. That's why they are a bit busy.
This file are followed up by the next step, where piano are added from iReal Pro too. This is a good tool, because we can export each instrument as wav file or MIDI so they are good for further work.

Take The A Train - 1 OldP - Drums

This is second version of "Take the A Train" from iReal Pro, where I have used the drums and the P Bass (from first version)and added the piano track.

Take The A Train - 1 OldP - Drums - Piano

Trying to make some bass lines for this smooth latin/jazz backing track, using my DIY Jazz Bass with original Fender Jazz pickups.
Could have done some more practise, but it had to be now.

Feb - 2018 - Challenge

This session is made in accordance with an agreement between Steve Lawson and myself. I have been granted the autorisation to add my '68 Fender P Bass to this title, that Steve Lawson and Fraser have recorded as a jam session to their album "Intersect".
I am honored to be asked to do this and very excited to hear, what Steve has to say about it.
As mentioned, I made and added a "one take" bass track, using my '68 Fender Presision Bass stringed with Thomastic Infeld Jazz flatwound strings and only a little tad of reverb and slight eccho as the only effects.

Autolysis - Lawson - Fraser - Hansen
