It's indeed a Real Book pick, I was simply turning the pages, and pick the 3 ones that seemed right for an audition, knowing that it's not a "premier prix" that I'm preparing. I'll take another look at the Real Book and maybe change my choices, but I'll be playing Take Five for sure, one Miles Davis (So What was my first pick) and one walking bass ballad.

Sure, I want. The problem is that I have to choose 3 jazz standards. I think that The Girl from Ipanema could be a very interesting bossa ballad to play... And I really love that tune, even more than Desafinado.

I don't like it, I love it as a whole. Those handpans aka hang drums are a wonderful invention, and using a jew's harp this way is also wonderful as the bansuri and the fretless. Thanks Tony.

No, they make fret lines for fretless : http://www.luminlay.com/shopen.html

I ended up watching the first opus. The double bass player seems to know what he is doing, he is holding his German bow the right way and playing each note in tune, must have learnt music at some time. The yelling guy reminds me of this :

Sorry to bother you, but I also need the depth as it's for my very special shape Berne. -
Fine, can you give me the approximative, knowing that it's not angled, inside height ?
-
And what about shipping it ?

I had to stop as my cat was wondering what kind of bird was in !?! 🤣

Didn't know the Marco basses. That said have you been to that scary outside 300 meters dive glass elevator and try the unscary "monte sledge" ? And what about that plane landing or take-off on one of the shortest runaway (well bearing it's name) in the world ? Nice and quiet place to be, loved it when I was there for a week seminar.

And similar first name, Tony. As an avant-goût, you can check the noise we were making some 16 years ago : http://users.skynet.be/sb134986/index.htm It's also a fretless album in fact, even if some tracks should have been discarded (to my ears), recorded in one take except the last title Stabushu Raga. How did you know about my (one day) forthcoming (maybe) album (when I can put all those riffs, licks, phrases and ideas together to be part of an entire raga) ? 😉
-
As said above, great mixture here, but the value of the whole exceeds the value of the bass, think about it before going on. To me, if you want to do the solo thing, tune it E to C and add a D-tuner to extend the low end.

As already written, don't forget "our" Jesús Rico Pérez with the fantastic album called Scars II: Solo Fretless Bass

Delightful !

Are all basses a bit dead around the 5th fret E string?
Hellzero replied to Phil_T's topic in Bass Guitars
Try this for setting your pickup(s) height, as I wrote in an EMG topic : Put some new foam under the pickups and you can raise passive pickups as close as 2,5 mm under the strings, but do this when fretting the string at the last fret on E and G strings for both pickups checking each side after moving the other end. For EMG pickups, just do the same and you can even get (close) to 1 mm using the same procedure. Use an Allen wrench to take measures. -

Hellzero replied to Phil_T's topic in Bass Guitars
How close are your pickups from the strings ? If they are too close, it could be the issue as they will interfere with the vibration of the string simply because of the magnet(s) power. I've got some early Q-Tuner pickups that have very powerful magnets, so I had to lower them a lot (twice my usual reference). -
Mental do you mean ?

Thanks Douglas, wanted to put this video online, but something else to do. Both done, now. 😉

Here the link to the manufacturer : http://stashstainlessbass.com/bass-specs/

I prefer "Basse contre basse" with Alain Caron on bass (mostly fretless) and Michel Donato on double bass, splendid interaction between the two, and almost a duet album with only percussions added by some obscure players (I'm kidding). 🤗
-
Thanks. If it's still the same interview system (some fellow player have made a few years there, only one got his first level) , there will be the music teachers playing with me, but I better ask before.
-
Thanks Douglas, but as the audition is scheduled on the 11th of September, I will be careful with knockin' em dead. 😉
-
Thanks, it will be bass, more precisely 6 strings fretless bass. It's a bit more challenging. Maybe they will refuse me, but at least I would have tried.
-
They tell that it's hard to study after 40, quite strangely, I've been studying all along my life without any problem. Maybe because I love that.

Take a look at the Real Book.
