Actually recorded this in January, but only got around to finishing the edit last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSEe1pASd_Q&feature=youtu.be

Another reason for my choice: I find bass infinitely more satisfying to play than any other instrument. I can't quite put the feeling into words, but I really feel the difference after long periods of playing guitar, ukulele or piano.

My first instrument was piano for many years. Since I took up bass at the age of 13, that quickly became my primary instrument. I definitely feel more of an affinity with bass, but it's a tough call. Piano has a much greater expressive range. That said, if I really had to stick with only one, I think it would still be bass. I can't fully explain why, but my technical ability probably has something to do with it.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1365883328' post='2045693'] YOU!!! I am pretty sure it was a video of you playing that Precision that made me think for the very first time "hmmm, P basses can sound really good!" And if it weren't you, this video does it again x10. Lovely playing and beautiful tone, thank you for posting this! [/quote] Thanks! I recorded this the same day as well. A favourite of mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFbEnfSODMA

http://youtu.be/gZehS6m-P9Y Another new one... Got some free time at the moment so I'm just enjoying being able to play!

[quote name='Kevin Glasgow' timestamp='1365698527' post='2043191'] Nice one Huw! This is wicked! I really like the other vid you guys have up as well (Mirror Stage). Great stuff! [/quote] Cheers Kevin! Loving your stuff too. Tasteful as f***.

My opinion: yes. Not always, but yes.

Not sure if I ever posted this when we released it... It's a live studio performance with [url="https://www.facebook.com/NarcissusUK"]Narcissus[/url]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ToBI9rJf5o If you don't like self-indulgent jazznoise, look away now.

Not long now! PM me for £5 guestlist.

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1344191525' post='1761019'] Sounding good man. What VST are you running? Try opening the envelope a little more and a touch of slight detuning on one of the oscillators. (I'm assuming your using 2). The sounds a little harsh compared to the original track. Everyone's going to struggle though unless they have two synced Minimoogs at home [/quote] Thanks Jake. I'm running the Novation Bass Station VST. I actually did detune one of the oscillators a little, but maybe it needs a bit more. You're totally right though, it'd be nice to have the real deal! One day, one day...

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1343897034' post='1756862'] Huw that is superb. Might have to pull my synth out of the cupboard. [/quote] Yes please do! There's plenty of synth love to go around. Thanks for the kind words.

Cheers mate, appreciate it!

https://www.facebook.com/HuwFoster/posts/387514147977065 A jam from yesterday's gig, where we were supposed to be supplying 'background music'. Oh well, we all get carried away sometimes!

Just a wee bump as it's tonight.

Here's a video from last time: http://youtu.be/PZg23DBsSw0

Hey everyone, I'll be playing at [url="http://www.doverst.co.uk"]Dover Street Jazz Bar[/url] with [url="http://www.thewhitekeys.co.uk"]The White Keys[/url] this Friday, as part of our monthly residency there. Come down if you're free! Entry is free before 10pm, £10 afterwards. Our first set is at 10:30, second set after midnight. Let me know if you're coming, it'd be great to have a chat.

I'm currently endorsed by [url="http://www.vanderkleyamp.nl"]Vanderkley Amplification[/url]. Marc actually got in touch after seeing one of my youtube videos, which was cool! Like many people here, this means it's a discount (and my name on the site) rather than free stuff. Working on others as I type this!

A tune from last week's gig at Dover Street. Not amazing quality, so I'd like to do it again better and maybe record a feed from the desk.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZg23DBsSw0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOsANudM03k Did this one as a request... need to branch out from disco now though!
