Jon just bought my fretless Mk 1 Wal. Couldn't have been a more straightforward deal. It was a pleasure Jon and I hope you have many hours of fun with the bass

On a big flamenco kick at the moment. I just LOVE this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aijiBZQBBD8

Lovely one with - shock horror - a different bassist. This time, Nathan Watts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYQfWJNWe3I

Cracking gig last night! Next up is Bull & Gate, Kentish Town on Wednesday. Onstage 8.45 pm .

Just back from our gig at the Jazz Servants Quarters in Dalston. Despite the venue being empty half an hour before we were due onstage, it suddenly filled and we played to a decent size crowd. I played with my Kolstein double bass, rather than my Takamine acoustic bass - first time I have gigged this particular instrument - and it went really well. A lot more physical gigging a DB than an acoustic bass but all the more satisfying for it. Our Spanish/flamenco flavoured tracks went down especially well. After the fiasco at 93 Feet East on Monday (when we had technical problems and an @rse of a soundman) this was a very good and extremely gratifying gig

Bump for tonight's gig in Hackney area, East London

I couldn't believe the amount. That's just legalised robbery. At least I had a good night with SWBO

I must be their biggest fan as it cost me £130 for a parking ticket (my wheels were on the pavement; but which wardens are out at 9pm at night?) Good gig from the Jetsonics though, and the Mrs and I especially liked the reggae/dub number

Thanks all. It sure is whisky-soaked music! This used to be our live encore

Cynically I am guessing the reason it doesn't have a DI/XLR is so it doesn't massively undermine the Sansamp franchise

Hi all, although I'm no longer in the band there are several tracks I recorded that are still to be released (and hopefully an album). The first to be released is the band's new single, a New Orleans-style sleazy reworking of Tom Waits' fabulous 'Yesterday is here' with added Rattlin Bone coda. I still love the music even if I have moved on band-wise. Hope you enjoy http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/13121225

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1335779280' post='1635727'] Some great stuff posted in this thread. Carles Benavent is Bassist i like to listen to a lot. His Fretless playing is sublime. A nice track here with Josemi Carmona. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJbr1_gDYw4&feature=related[/media] Some Fretless. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFBNJNCvY6c&feature=related[/media] Garry [/quote] Not seen him before. Interesting style of play (I watched some YT clips last night). Only time I can recall seeing anyone play a fretless with a pick. Being the bass nerd I was intrigued by his unsual looking fretted bass with the big cutout on the upper bout - turns out its a Jerzy Drozd 'Barcelona', designed for him by the Spanish luthier [url="http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/barcelona_views.htm"]http://www.jerzydrozdbasses.com/barcelona_views.htm[/url]
