Astral Traveller (HD remaster)
Here is a remastered version of my early cover of Astral Traveller. The previous version had some very primitive video effects with the story of the Portuguese Flag, which I just removed this time. The bass was significantly boosted and a bit processed with some compression. I hope it’s more audible now, considering YouTube’s more recentContinue reading “Astral Traveller (HD remaster)”
A Venture (HD remaster with bonus track)
I recovered one of my first covers from 2008, “A Venture” from “The Yes Album”. Little I knew back then that in fact the bass that Chris Squire used for this song was his white Fender Telecaster and not the usual Rickenbacker! I did a Yes Album cover “spoof” with me in the empty chair,Continue reading “A Venture (HD remaster with bonus track)”

Montreux’s Theme (Rickenbacker)
Here is the Rickenbacker version of Montreux’s Theme, which came second on the poll in which the Fender Jazz Bass has got more votes as we were trying to guess which bass was used by Chris Squire for this beautiful instrumental. For the recordings I chose to boil old Rotosound strings, which sounded better that brandContinue reading “Montreux’s Theme (Rickenbacker)”
Montreux’s Theme bass quest
Montreux’s Theme is one of the most graceful bass lines written and performed by Chris Squire, with such a great interplay along with Alan White and Steve Howe. Do you know which bass did Chris play? Would you like to have a guess? Please take a listen to the sample more below and take yourContinue reading “Montreux’s Theme bass quest”
Looking Around (remastered… and expanded!)
New year has begun! I have been busy with work and new projects and, with the few time I had, I did yet another “remaster”, this time with Looking Around, from the very first Yes LP. As we approach the first anniversary since our dear Peter Banks passed away, I took the opportunity to decorateContinue reading “Looking Around (remastered… and expanded!)”
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Here’s a remastered version of the 2008 clip, hopefully with a better encoding. In any case, a good reason for expressing here my wishes of Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! Bass: Rickenbacker 4001CS Strings: Rotosound Swing Bass RS66LD (45-105, stainless steel) Preamp: Sansamp Bass Driver DI (BDDI) Signal path: Bass→BDDI→PCContinue reading “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”
Fortune Seller – BASS AUDIO
This is one of my old bassline attempts from back in 2001. Fortune Seller has always been on of my favourite tunes in “Open Your Eyes”. The song is very dominated by it’s bass riff which, to me, has a strange “odd-meter” feel, although in reality it’s in plain 4/4. The effects applied were alsoContinue reading “Fortune Seller – BASS AUDIO”
On The Silent Wings Of Freedom (remaster)
While I don’t have time to complete the next video, I have tried to produce a slightly better quality audio/video version of my first upload. I had to use some different settings for the fx and fixed sync issues. This time I used Amplitube’s “Nu-Tron” to emulate the Mu-Tron III pedal. I also added someContinue reading “On The Silent Wings Of Freedom (remaster)”
