Music. Photography. Thoughts.
I found that lovely and dreamy track from Stephan and Mark, and I wanted to bow my bass on that a bit – but the strings I have on the instrument aren’t really the right ones for that, so I ended up just trying to stay in tune (was a bit flat on one fifth towards the end…):
Thanks to Trommelkloppe and to Fishinmissio for all the fun, thanks to you for listening to my after-work practising 🙂
What a fun track from Alessio, Charlotte, and Pat – really couldn’t resist that one:
So it’s grazie, merci, and danke to my friends – and thanks to you for listening to us having fun 🙂
My second upload and collaboration plucking the big fiddle:
Thanks to FrankieJ for his awesome template, and thanks to you for listening, and for hearing me learn a totally new (to me) instrument 🙂
“NBD” is a term from talkbass.com, the biggest forum for bass players word-wide, and it stands for “new bass day” – so if you use it, you’re reporting about a new purchase, normally with pictures.
So here you go:
Got it for a very good price including lots of add-ons like a stand, a pickup, a French bow, and a bag from a member of a German/Swiss forum for bass players, bassic.de. It’s a Christopher DB202 which means it’s all laminated (plywood), and in gamba shape (but with a round back, most gambas had a flat one).
So today I connected the pickup and my microphone to the audio interface like this:
and then I played a Blues together with Nils, Peter, and Philip, called “Mr. Booze”, like this:
Not that easy to handle an instrument that big in Bb flat minor for your first one, but fun anyway – thanks and merci to my friends for the music 🙂
More in bassic.de and in talkbass.com – and thanks for reading, and for listening.
I added a bit of a low end to the second half of this beautiful track from Philip and from Peter:
Thanks to my friends for all the fun, and merci to you for listening.
Short but sweet track from Tom & Shi, couldn’t resist…:
Thank you Tom & Shi for all the fun – and thanks to you dear reader(s) for listening…
Found that awesome swing drum template from Mark, so I couldn’t resist to play around with it a bit:
Thanks to WhiteDrum55 for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening (or even contributing?).
Published the 11th album with collaborations with my friends from Wikiloops, and the front cover looks like this:
As usual, if you click on that image you’ll end up at Flickr where it is hosted – but I’ll put another smaller cover/inlet picture in the widget area where you can also find the other 10 albums.
Thanks to my friends for all the fun I’ve had – and thanks to you for listening and/or downloading. Hope you’ll like it.
Wonderful dreamy track from Andri, so I couldn’t resist to add a few low notes to the crush:
Gracias Andri for all the fun, and thank you to you for listening to us 🙂
Wikiloops user Mike_66 uploaded a wonderful piano template which I downloaded right away. I thought that a double bass would fit, but since I still don’t have one I played a bowed Karoryfer Meatbass sampled double bass on my Akai MPK mini Mk2 keyboard instead, and added a few accents with my fretless:
Thanks to Mike_66 for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening.
