Hold Out Your Hand / You By My Side – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION
This clip includes the same audio that I recorded in 2008. The bass audio production was improved and slightly over-mixed to make it more audible. Youtube’s audio compression is much better than 2 years ago and that largely improved the results. Thank you very much Simon Gilman for another excellent contribution with the transcription!

Starship Trooper – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION
This is an old cover from 2001 where I added some non-bass parts played on the bass, to fill in for “Disillusion” and the guitar intro of Würm. The tremolo effect is a Boss TR-2 pedal, while the final fuzz was done with the multi-effects Boss ME-8B, along with it’s octave effect at the veryContinue reading “Starship Trooper – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION”

I added the same audio of my original audio bassline from 2008, with a slightly louder bass in the mix. Hopefully it will sound a bit better (along with the apparently better audio encoding of YouTube) . Download theContinue reading “Astral Traveller – BASS AUDIO with TRANSCRIPTION”

It was my first experience withContinue reading “MIA 2010 – Free improvising session”
Panda Pompoir – Mundial da Boa Esperança
Panda Pompoir did the politically incorrect anthem for the Portuguese national team’s campaign on World Cup 2010 in South Africa – World Cup of Good Hope (Mundial da Boa Esperança) is actually a support song for both Portugal and Brazil – The lyrics, written by featuring artist Felipe Flamboyant (aka the voice of “Bruno Aleixo”Continue reading “Panda Pompoir – Mundial da Boa Esperança”
To Be Alive
A beautiful song by Billy Sherwood. Also a good example of how to make use of the 8-string bass, letting the notes shine, keeping it simple and focus on the timbre of the instrument. The top two strings are tuned in perfect fifths (just like “Changes” or “Hearts”)
