Total Watts

  1. Prefab Sprout- Steve McQueen
  2. Never in my life have I played clangy metal. I have an AB1 5 string with Glockenklang preamp, 3 pickups plus the switches for parallel/series switching. I play in a Bily Joel tribute band, a blues band, a jazzy soul band and do lots of other projects from pop to jazz. The Dingwall handles it all with ease. I was totally surprised the first time I played one, thinking this bass was made for metal because somehow that’s all we see on the internet. But it’s just a very very good and versatile bass.
  3. This is the one for me. Willie Weeks playing with Donny Hathaway on Everything Is Everything, play the whole song to get into the feel or start at 8:20 for the bass solo.
  4. Oooh nice, takes me back a few years.
  5. https://www.kijk.nl/programmas/the-tribute-battle-of-the-bands/FfowNmNFGSLlPh We where on a television show for six weeks running. A contest between tribute bands, and a very nice experience it was. We play Billy Joel songs.
  6. Great band and such good songs, love them.
  7. Such a beautiful voice and performance (and a great song too of course). I would love to know the signal chain of this recording because for me it doesn’t get any better than this.
  8. Yep have that one too. I assume you know this exists?
  9. Hi Bilbo, thank you very much for posting this. l’m definitely going to take a look at this. “One More Once” is one of my favorite albums of all time. Great compositions, a more than superb pianist, drummer and hornplayers aren’t too shabby either :), and then there’s Anthony Jackson. I remember buying this cd, coming home and listening to it for the first time (on headphones). After it was finished I realized I had only been listening to Anthony Jackson, totally mesmerized and in awe. Had to put it on a second time to hear the songs complete with a little less focus on the bass.
  10. A friend of mine started a FB project with chain-bands. People can submit lyrics, music or both and then the files get sent to the next collaborator (without checking back with the composer so everyone is free to add what they like) and so on until the song is finished. Everybody captures a video of themselves while playing/singing etc. and sends that in too. We keep the audio and video separated, at the end of the chain the song gets mixed and the video edited and then put together, that seems to work best. (So my advice would be that someone starts with a click or drumloop and an instrument part and then the next one records and so on. Keep the video separated and put everything together at the end. The video could have the click count in as sound to make it easy to align video and audio). I have already played bass on some songs but also entered two of my own songs. One of them got finished already (with me on bass of course) and I’m so proud of how it turned out considering I only knew the drummer, the rest where total strangers to me.
