recordings

I put low tension labella flats on my J bass today… it was a revelation. What players have recorded a Fender Jazz with flat wounds? The more genres the better. Links would be appreciated. Live or studio. Besides Joe Dart on Dean Town… that’s a given.

Hi, I'm wondering if theres anyway to listen to or stream Gary Karr's recordings other than buying them through the ISB store? I'm a moderately broke university student (my current teacher studied with Gary) and I'd love to be able to listen to his interpretation of the Hindemith sonata and all...

I have recently gotten into the music of Wishbone Ash, and I am also a fan of Thin Lizzy (whose twin guitar sound was influenced after Phil Lynott and Gary Moore went to a Wishbone Ash concert and eventually started a twin guitar harmony band named Thin Lizzy, having been blown away by the stage...

I decided to ask what releases of 2022 you have enjoyed so far. I am a fan of guitar rock albums, and the one I have played a few times in the past month is Love Sux by Avril Lavigne. It’s probably the best album Avril put out in years. I also just picked up the Black Keys new album Dropout...

Me and some friends are kicking around the idea for a recording project inspired by old 60’s-70’s garage rock. I figured I’d ask here about some favorite recordings, particularly for getting ideas for song structures (and BASS TONES!!!). So feel free to drop links to your favorite examples. If...

Inspired by this track: In the @Bart Funk Bass thread about Flea's basses: FLEA - ALL BASSES I thought it would be cool to share examples of isolated tracks that don't sound great, but sit well in the mix. This can be personal recordings or well-known tunes. I think a lot of us go through...

when you think of “pick players” you probably just think they all used plastic guitar picks, even people like paul mccartney who had a thumpy sound. well, i don’t remember exactly where i saw it, but it was either ELP on beat club, or the who on the rock and roll circus, but john entwistle/greg...

I need some help. Can people post a few representative examples of funk recordings or performances that highlight the Jazz Bass guitar?

My Sennheiser HD 380 Pro studio headphones that I have been extremely satisfied with both as monitor when tracking/recording, for mixing purposes and for my "ampless" bass and guitar rigs when practicing at home, are sadly giving up after many years faithful service, so I am looking for...

p bass? jazz bass? gibson bass? i don’t even know who the bassist was!!! i believe todd was a multi-instrumentalist. i know for sure he played drums on many tracks.

Hello everyone! I've been following this forum for some six months and I must say it's awesome! Helped me a lot! So, I started working on my new album. BUT this is the first album I plan to do using only bass and probably drums in some parts of a few songs. I've been recording and expanding...

Why releasing an album is a waste of time | MusicRadar

Our new music video for "Silvertruckin'" off our last album Andromeda is up. It's a live version that I recorded, mixed, edited and produced. Hope you enjoy it!

I play guitar and bass, so in certain songs I am drawn to one or the other in the mix. In Stax stuff, I always hear Cropper—not Dunn (sacrilege, I know). Conversely, in most of Stevie Wonder's stuff I only hear Jamerson, Babbitt, or Watts—not so much the other musicians. Anyone else experience...

I am doing some archiving of old things on four track, except that some things are just quick ideas and just solo bass. I was struck by the amount of chording and relatively clean playing. But more than that I was doing things in one take 20+ years ago I'd have to double-track now!

Recently I have become immersed in Youtube channels of 45 rpm vintage recordings because, as another TBer has pointed out, due to transistor radios with their teensy speakers being the cell phones of their day (everybody had one), the bass is higher up in the mix. It can be heard much more...

I'm wondering if we should redo these recordings. Let me know what you think of the tone and bass playing. Songs: history, mindblower, justin case Let me know which song is your favorite. Thanks.

A scene in Peter Gabriel: So -- Classic Albums reveals the secret behind Tony Levin's wonderful sound on "Don't Give Up:" A diaper used to mute the strings, lol. I've used foam, of course, and even swimmer's ear plugs, but never a diaper!

Hi guys, I have a Scarlett 2i2 and I use it with Ableton , but I can't reach a very clean and fat sound. Someone have it to and give me some tips? Thanks!

I've recently begun my adventure into the world of high fidelity listening. While I don't exactly have golden ears, it appears I can differentiate recording qualities to a small extent --about 66% of the time-- according to an NPR listening test. A few years ago, I received a pair of open-back...

I've been listening to some later 1920s early 1930s American pop music and am trying to figure out when tubas and sousaphones get dropped and double basses start getting used. I am thinking 1929-1930, but someone out here must know better than just my guess.

I hear decent amount of bass players on youtube who come up with solos to play over backing tracks. I assume there must be a place to download these types of things?

Looking for recordings of unaccompanied Jazz Double Bass Solo recordings but with more or a stronger focus on standard repertoire like Dave Holland's Ones All? I know Brian Bromberg also have some sporadic tracks on the Wood Albums I know there are more Holland's solo works, Miroslav Vitous...

giant steps by John Coltrane is arguably one of the most iconic and ground breaking recordings in jazz. The piano player can’t keep up to the changes and cacks out his solo. At the end he just goes into some chordal stuff as if to say “please let it be over”. A very weak ending to a weak...

Howdy folks! This is a new step in my life... yes! I finally moved in my own place and left my Mom's nest. Yuppy. Finally I can 'nearly' plug my basses when I feel the desire (just avoiding to play loud at night hours) and then, that's great, huh? But there's a big issue... So to make it...

Give advice and suggestions. Thanks. Also, I just found out about these various artist - topic videos. Justin case Mind blower History

Hello! The story: I use Fender Jazz Bass passive directly to M-audio Fast Track, which goes to PC or MacBook with Reaper/Logic, but I don't like the quality of the sound, it is kinda plastic and cheap. Even with VST plugins. I see many youtubers get really clean and rich sound, using preamps and...

Have you heard any modern pop recordings lately with walking bass? I'm not so familiar with the genre so the only one I can think of is "For Free? - Interlude" by Kendrick Lamar, but it'd be interesting to hear more

I'm looking for more Marcus miler recordings as a sideman. I have his solo stuff. stuff with Sanborn, Luther and Aretha Franklin. what other stuff should I check out?

Recordings Added To Grammy Hall Of Fame 2018 RENÉE FABIAN GRAMMYS JAN 16, 2018 - 6:30 AM Each year the Grammy Hall Of Fame celebrates a class of outstanding recordings at least 25 years old that exhibit qualitative or historical significance. To continue its ongoing commitment to preserving...

Recently finished up some original songs, my friend did vocals, I wrote and played everything else. Curious of anyone else here who works like this. The Vendors Songs

You know, I find it a little interesting that there’s no section of TB that seems really to be devoted to writing and arranging. Sure, recordings are represented (obviously since that’s where I’m putting this), along with tablature and notation, and I guess there's general instruction, but none...

This is something that has bugged me for a long time. Wellll...Not really "bugged". More like intrigued. I notice on a lot of older/classic recordings the piano has a sort of muted tone to it. Like the mute pedal was engaged. Top end attenuation and the piano seems to sit further back in...

Every time I listen to a broadway cast recording the bass tone is so clean/clear... how do I get that?! Anyone on the scene etc who has experience? For reference, listen to the Book of Mormon cast recording (particularly those low notes at the end of “You and Me” ... so tight!)

Hello, I'm looking into purchasing an SB-1 and find an overall lack of demos/recordings online. It'd be fantastic if some SB-1 and SB-2 (neck pick-up!) owners would be willing to record a few lines with varying volume and tone settings. The constant on-going about how hot/'harsh' they are in...

is there any definitive list anywhere of all Parliament songs that is Bootsy on bass?

I grew up with the Johnny Mathis “Merry Christmas” album, and there’s several songs on it where the choir and orchestra really make the songs have an atmospheric mystical sort of sound (not sure how else to put it). I’m sure most of you have heard his version of “What Child Is This” but if you...

Not necessarily for the bass that's on them, but which albums do you play and say, "Ah, yes... the one's still perfect... I just LOVE this!!!"? For the songs... the production... the performance... whatever trips your trigger. For me: Prince - One Nite Alone... Live! Jane's Addiction...

The older I get, the harder it is for me to get a few of my friends in the same room to play music. If I don't start recording some ideas, I'm gonna lose it! I'm looking to record the bass and guitar tracks, then probably program the drums, at least until the bug itches me enough to buy a kit...

Am I the only one who's glad that discrete stereo recordings, where instruments/voices are fully isolated to a single channel, went out of vogue? I do a lot of one-earbud listening at work and it's super annoying to be like "Hey! Wasn't there a guitar solo here? ...Oh. it's in the other...
