Very cool! Nice playing!

Thanks guys!

Hi there!

I´m Martin, a bass player from Sweden. Work as a freelance musician and play both electric and upright basses, and do sometimes gigs on guitar too. I´ve played bass for over 20 years now. Studied at the College of Music in Gothenburg, Sweden. Studied jazz and other things there.

My main bass is a bass I´ve built from parts I collected from various places. It turned out sounding very good, so I´ve been playing that bass exclusively for 6 years now. It´s a jazz bass:

As shown in the not so great photo; my amp is an Aguilar Tonehammer 500 and two Aguilar SL112 cabs. I got them a month ago and my previous rigg, Aguilar AG500SC and two GS112 were sold to a friend. Can´t say that the new rigg sound better in every aspect, but it´s a lot lighter.

Here my upright bass, although laying down in this photo:

I also have a cheap, acoustic Ibanez bass that actually sounds really good, that I use sometimes.
I tend not to use that many fx pedals, but I have some laying around like a wah, envelope-pedal, octaver etc. But use them like once a year or so...

Here´s my youtube channel where I´ve posted some lo-fi vids, but my intention is to post stuff of better quality. [url="https://www.youtube.com/user/basmartin/videos"]https://www.youtube....asmartin/videos[/url]

And I love belgian beer.

Cheers

Anyone more that has tried and know of reasonably good bass banjos?
