  1. A Stór (Irish for "my treasure") is a piece for marimba, piano, and fretless bass. It’s inspired by Piazzolla and dedicated to Tiziana.

    The bass I used here is a 1960s Höfner 182 that I’ve had since the 90s. A friend removed its frets and painted it black, and I recently updated the pickups. Do you like its sound? ^_^

  2. I hear people are even more fake on the Internet than than are IRL. You won't find that here. I'm not going to pretend that my gear is always neat. It's not. This is what things really look like.

    Sometimes, I want to try something out & have to reroute power & patch cables. Then it just stays like that for a while and the pedals are not lined up all pretty anymore. lol

    This is my "#pedalboard" in progress. Monophonic & meant to showcase what #NativeAudio has to offer.

    The #ElectronicAudioExperiments: Prismatic Wall is for the #banjo #guitar
    The #JamPedals is for the #fretlessBass side.
    They're both incredible.

  7. Is it inappropriate to use the #jamuary tag out of season? What else should I tag these with?

    Here's tonights #dailyPractice #dailyjam on the #fretlessBass #electricBass The first section is mostly hammer-ons & pull-offs. As always, this is largely #noeffort. 😜

    If you want longer recordings where I do put in effort, tip me! Help me get an audio interface so I can properly record #music.

  8. Decided to tune my #Ibanez SRD905F #electricBass to drop C with a low G on the bottom. Wanted to brighten up one note in a riff. lol at trying to play chords on a #fretlessBass.

    #DAddario #tapewounds and stock #flatwounds strings. This tuning does work fine. I'd prefer all the strings to be a bit thicker.

    If I were to keep it like this, I'd get the bottom four of a 5-string set or heavier flatwound singles. The low G is fine as tapewound but, I'm also using a nasty fuzz pedal. 😈

  9. "New York Minute" is a song written by #DonHenley, #DannyKortchmar, and Jai Winding. Henley originally recorded it for his 1989 album #TheEndOfTheInnocence. The track features #PinoPalladino on #fretlessBass, #Toto members #DavidPaich, who played piano and wrote the string arrangement, and #JeffPorcaro on drums. It also features #Take6 on background vocals.

  10. I got a new #fretlessbass! I've been eyeing this model ever since it came out. Now I can shut up.

    #Ibanez SRD905F 5-string. magnetic+piezo pickups. 30 stops

    Made in Indonesia. It shows. I've noticed a few things that'd never fly from a US shop. See photos. Not a big deal but for $1300 + tax, brand new, no case...

    This is not the specific #bass I thought I was ordering. Exchanged a few words w/ the shop... 😬 Alas, that fingerboard won me over & I made aesthetic sense of the body grain. lol

    Waiting on the #LaBella black nylon tapewounds to arrive at my local shoppe.

  14. This feeling... I think I'm going to start a band named
    **Eloquence Of Dread**.

    Taken inspiration from:
    #Satan's Night Out / The #Vampire Lestat / J.D. & Richard Gibbs + #DavidDraiman + #MarilynManson
    • The 69 Eyes, particularly "Velvet Touch" (Blessed Be version)
    • The Bronx Casket Co. just a bit from their first album
    #ARY (album: Queen Of All Trades)
    • Love Spirals Downwards & other Projekt Records #etherealGoth
    #J_Lis / #JessicaLisette + @[email protected]
    #AfterForever, #TheatreOfTragedy

    with guest vocals, #violin, #piano, #electricBass, #fretlessBass, #electricGuitar, #SpanishGuitar, #congaDrums. #synth ?

    Dark, atmospheric, not too heavy, #rap

  15. I was able to get my #fretlessbass with .135g tapewound flatwounds down to low F#.

    If I keep my #basses at the sub #contrabass level and use a #cello #guitar for anything higher, wouldn't the cello then really be the #doublebass? 😜

    P.S. the trick is to hit the string hard near the bridge and use a little fuzz. (Also using a little chorus, reverb, minimal delay (time:10, fb:10, mix:20) plenty of EQ). It sounds just fine.

    Only 3 strings on this half of the bass.
    The other 4 on the neck are fretted, lol. Currently tuned C1, G1, C2, F2. Maybe both sections will shift to have low G on the bottom!

  16. It's not really silent for #SilentSunday, but this is a meditative piece for fretless bass guitar I wrote back in '15 or so. The ambient noise is all from noise oscillators and a sample I created from flipping the pages of a book passed through heavy delay and convolution reverb.

  17. JAZZ-POP. Lovely, lovely, goosebump-inducing chord progressions, warm analog synths, Rhodes, a #FretlessBass solo, Sidsel Endresen on vocals. What more can the heart of a sentimental man desire?
