 Added to the playlist! - Welcome to the club!

Good evening!

Here's me with my  bitsa Musicmaster.

The neck is dated 1971, everything else has been replaced - I'm not sure about the age of the body which has been resprayed, and has a huge hole under the pickguard where a neck pickup used to be.

Sounds amazing and has La Bella flats on it,

My Spotify playlist currently has 1182 likes - if you'd like to have your music included, and it fits genre wise, just send post the song link below.

I'm trying to raise the awareness of  bassists work. No catch, no con - just for fun, and hopefully get a few more listeners to check out Bass Guitar Music

IT ALL STARTED WITH THE BASS LINE!

For a while now I’ve been recording at home, using a small Zoom R8 recorder and interface.

It has a good selection of drums, and a choice of kit sounds and rhythms.

The Bass guitar effects are excellent – my favourite being the Ampeg SVT setting (gloriously fat!), and lots of EQ options.

Using a Classic Series 50’s Precision Bass, strung with Rotosound flats, I’d been jamming for a few weeks with a bass line I’d come up with – a definite nod to “Come Go With Me” by The Staple Singers, a song which as you know has the most amazing groove all the way through..

Gradually the bass part took on more of a reggae groove, and once I’d added some drums everything came together pretty quickly. The melody line popped into my head – but I needed some help with lyrics (Thanks Roz!).

Thanks to the internet, my good friend Grev added a skanking guitar part, and Michelle Hope came up with a beautiful vocal performance.

I think it worked out well, and I hope you like it.

I have spent many years coming up with lines for other people’s songs – it was a real blast to create from the bottom up!
