urb Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hey Sorry to post another of these improvised things but I took the time to record things properly and film it in HD - the looped melody at the end is my fave part - but let me know what you think - played on my Sei Jazz with my Boss RC2 looper Incidentally I'm working on some new recordings - some with a singer - and it's going pretty well, but I'm not previewing anything until it's completely ready - so these little jams are just me letting off steam - hope that's cool with y'all? Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks fella - I'm particularly pleased with the loop at the end - and this bass records so well (it sounds great anyway) but having just DI'd it for this I'm happy with the sound - and I didn't even switch pickups for the solo... cheers for watching M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Embarrassing! I now go to play what I thought sounded good & find my playing is embarrassing compared to the stuff you do. I need a good teacher! Nice work btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Nice mate! Nice tone too. Love the interraction with the drums here and there. I always find bassists who programme or play their own drums naturally accent in the same places. You were really getting into that weren't you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yeah man, real nice! Loving the very end. Goes to show how time aware you are. Lovely tone too. Not too middle-y, plenty of bass! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShergoldSnickers Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) You sir, are a very bad man. That's pushed my inadequacy button right back in again, and it'll take months to pop out now. Tuneful, funky, and a tone that resembles the finest silk transformed into mellifluous sonic reality. Right that's it - I'm buying your album. So there. Edit...... and bought. I shall report back.

pantherairsoft Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Great stuff dude. Real nice breakbeat/jazz fusion kinda vibe. Lovely tone and disgusting technique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hey Mike, it's not the type of music I would normally listen to but I have to say that was a superb demonstration of amazing technique and improvisational ability. I wish I had a tenth of your abilities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence I played very little yesterday as it's kind of a waste of time - plus I'm very happy with my basses... thanks again I know this fusion jazz stuff isn't everyone's bag, and it's only one side of the music I like to listen to and play.

Bottle Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Oh, that was just.......schweet . Loved the melodic playing at the end I do look forward to what pops up here in the Recording forum (oh, and BTW, I've suscribed to your YouTube channel as well). Keep it up, Mike. Good luck with the new tunes. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Very nice indeed! Dare I say this kinda thing would normally be a bit too jazzy for my tastes, but this is an exception. Really like it... funky as a motherfunker and brilliantly played! I must look into getting myself a loop pedal sometime; I can imagine they're great fun.
