elros Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hello I put together an albums worth of live recordings from our last two gigs. [url="http://hallgeir.no/bass/ansgar/live08/"]You can download the whole thing here[/url]. And, for those interested: I used my [url="http://hallgeir.no/bass/surine/"]Surine Regency X[/url] six-string bass for tracks 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and the beginning and end of 12 and 13. This bass is fitted with the Roland GK pickup and played through the Roland [url="http://hallgeir.no/bass/electronics/"]V-Bass system[/url], except track 9 which is only piezo pickup. For the remaining tracks (4, 6, 10, 11, 14 and the middle section of 12 and 13 -- track 5 has no bass) I used my [url="http://hallgeir.no/bass/conklin/"]Conklin 9-string[/url], no processing. Alas, the bass is a little low in the mix on the gig where I used the Conklin. But it does sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pondering wether I should publicly apologize in advance for my freak-out on "Breakthrough" - I just went for it, and IMO some of it works and some doesn't quite work...

ped Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Well I loved the samples of your band on your website, I thought the playing was very tasty and tight, and the tone was a massive factor in getting the V-bass system myself. I am looking forward to listening to these full tracks later today, thanks for sharing. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulf Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Cheers Hallgeir. I've listened to the first track and have the rest queued up for later. All good so far Wulf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phsycoandy Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Great to see "God Is upto something" in Norway........some exotic basses there, I just keep it simple with just the four strings! I think if you use more, God might think you're showing off! (Joke, English humour!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trent900 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hallgeir, this is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stuff. I think I'm moving to Norway just to have even a chance of singing with you guys. Please do a tour of the UK. Soon. Regards, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elros Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks for the comments! Alas I have to quit this gospel choir as I'm moving from the city and the school where the choir belongs. Last gig is on Saturday. It'd be very cool to keep the groove going but logistics makes it rather impossible I'm afraid. It has been a blast learning the black gospel genre though, it's like nothing else and I've barely got me feet wet, so to speak. So much good stuff in these gospel bassists, I'm flabbergasted. Eh, anyway. Glad you dig it! I was supposed to get a DVD with some concert video footage as well, but I haven't seen it. Don't know if it'll ever come. If it does, I'll upload some of that as well.

wulf Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Perhaps you'll find another group needing your expert services? Even if you don't find another gospel group, I'm sure the experience will help whatever musical project you turn to next. Wulf ps. Enjoyed the rest of the recording too.
