Hey, Greg, what are the EQ and presence settings on your preamp for this recording? I just got my Kinal Kompact, and am learing the characteristics of the electronics. Thanks!
@tbourdi - Hey, sorry, this comment must have slipped past me...my 6-string Kompact actually doesn't have an onboard preamp. We went with a Highlander piezo system which just has a stereo direct output (piezos + internal mic). So any EQ I do on this bass is done through the amp or recording interface. On my 4-string Kompact with the B-Band preamp though, I tend to boost the bass EQ and turn down the presence a bit.
Lovely stuff, I was wondering if you transcribed this at all, It's a lovely song, and I love the tone you're able to get out of that Kinal Kompact, has such a Double-bass esque sound to it, Really Jazzy.
My 'standard' for this bass has been C#F#BEAD, but I think I did this video before I settled on that tuning. I think it was a little higher, maybe DGCFBbEb. I don't remember exactly now.
My God.... I was away from my computer when I heard this, and I thought it was a double bass you were playing- until I saw it wasn't! I've never played the AcoustiCore strings. If I get a set and they sound half that good, I'll be happy as could be!
Congratulations, great work!! Can I ask you, can you recommend me some artists of the same gengre?? I really enjoyed listening the music and her lovely voice, but I don't know nothing about this style.
Thanks! I'm not the best at describing musical genres, but I would call this a kind of lounge jazz maybe. Try some Melody Gardot, Alison Burns, Grace Kelly, Inga Swearingen, Jane Monheit, Madeleine Peyroux, Kristin Korb, Norah Jones, Roberta Gambarini, Robin Mckelle, Sara Gazarek. Those rae some of my faves.
That was very nice. Thanks! Not so much my genre [I tend towards bluegrass, blues and classic rock], but yet I'm still inspired to pick-up my bass and follow along with you. Very smooooooooth, gentle flow. I find myself melting into it nicely. Thanks again. By the way, great sound!
Thanks, it is an amazing bass! Does sound better in person, and I haven't been able to capture that sound perfectly yet. Planning on getting a real nice mic sometime later this year, to help with that.
This is a stripped down version of an original song that I played on, so it isn't on any CD. But you can hear the full version on my myspace page: myspace/gregbagley
Your other stuff is good but this is great! I'm a big blues fan, not so much jazz, so my soul tells me that simple is best. Anyway, all power to your bass my friend. Music is the international language of choice.
Great jazz man, real smooth. Is there a studio version of this song? Can't find it here on youtube.
