ambient Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) I came across this guy on Instagram. It’s not to everyone’s taste I know, personally I love solo bass. The bass is a Marleaux Heiko Jung signature model with Pyramid black nylon strings. The bass has a built in microphone, the recorded sound is a mix of that and the amplified sound. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbdREA3sQHZ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Edited April 16, 2022 by ambient 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I have a Marleaux Consat. I do enjoy the Cello Suites as an exercise and it is lovely to see people playing things other than the first Prelude in G. Worth spending time with and great for reading practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Marleaux bass about ten years ago, lovely instruments. I’ve got a book of the cello suites arranged for bass that I use for reading practice, they’re beautiful pieces.

Bilbo Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Nick had my Marleaux from new. I think I am about the 10th person to own it 😊 I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Bassists tend to just plough through these Cello pieces and they sound like they can't wait to get to the end. Very nice. Thanks for posting. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Bassists tend to just plough through these Cello pieces and they sound like they can't wait to get to the end. That's a useful reminder of what makes something musical, rather than simply music. Certainly, it felt to me that this bassist had mastered the piece, and was able to introduce expression, feeling and emotion into his playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
