It's a live studio performance with [url="https://www.facebook.com/NarcissusUK"]Narcissus[/url]: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ToBI9rJf5o[/media] If you don't like self-indulgent jazznoise, look away now.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChick Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Be gentle! I've only been playing 10 and a half months!! Here is my version of Iron Maiden - Ides of March [URL=http://s1019.photobucket.com/albums/af313/phillipwjones/?action=view¤t=7A4C414F-9D28-47DD-BA41-BF66B7E0A84C-2812-000008C047DA4CFA_zps65fab766.mp4][IMG]http://emob1019.photobucket.com/albums/af313/phillipwjones/th_7A4C414F-9D28-47DD-BA41-BF66B7E0A84C-2812-000008C047DA4CFA_zps65fab766.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Good solid playing for only 10.5months or otherwise! If I may comment on technique, left hand looks like you've been taking lessons for 10 months and have been taught well, or you are very observant of the best bass players, it's spot on! Right hand technique can be much bolder to reflect this and get a punchy sound. I would recommend lifting the hand away from the bass and forming a bridge, anchored by your thumb with fingers a dancing (have a look at jamesbass116 excellent Jamaroquai rendition just above yours for example - his wrist looks a sharp angle but I suspect if he was standing his elbow would come forward easing that angle).

jamesbass116 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Here's my latest bass video! Kind of a bit so-so about it.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dvc8mYMvTQ[/media] [/quote] I think you've got great feel, love the little passing and grace notes. Hope you're in a good band and not keeping all this to yourself. If I had any comment, and it's only a personal thing, I reckon almost all this could all played in the first position, going up strings rather than up the fret board. Anything above the fifth fret isn't for real men! Much better than I am anyway, and I'd probably been playing for 10 years before you were born!

I'm also going to go away and copy that harmonic intro for sound check showing off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Going along the Sister Sledge route, here's a vlog thing of my band recording, you may need to skip along to get to the bass bits but Thinking of You features in the first half and at the end. http://youtu.be/5xu1ELjNxmw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really appreciated. I'm playing around London in a few bands of various styles quite a lot so I'm definitely getting myself out there, which is really fun. Trust me, 5th fret and below is definitely my favourite place to be.. haha. Some of the moving up the neck rather than staying in position was a conscious decision just because of the tone I wanted to get. So I was pretty aware of what I was doing and why!

Noah Deere Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 This is from my band's seventh gig, with borrowed guitarist (Cloud from steampunk band Gladstone). We had no chance to rehearse with him prior to the gig, and it was our last number on the Saturday before Christmas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG-5xZWzYXA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
