How Insensitive (Insensatez) - Solo Acoustic Bass

Me playing a solo version of "Insensatez", by Antônio Carlos Jobim. It's a work in progress - playing chord melodies and soloing like a solo jazz guitarist would.

Played on my Kinal Kompact 6-string Acoustic Bass. Strung C#F#BEAD (standard 6-string bass up a whole step) with Thomastik-Infeld Acousticores. Recorded with a blend of the piezos and a mic'd signal.

Can u only get a 6-stringed acoustic bass if u special order it? I would love to improvise around the blues scales on that bass

[GBagley]

@AnimeLagge - Pretty much, yeah. You might be able to find a crappy mass-produced one, but they're usually pretty bad.

You are an extraordinary musician. Are you formal trained?

[GBagley]

@Prickya - Not really. I'm almost entirely self-taught.

[GBagley]

@Prickya - Not really, no. I'm primarily self-taught.

Have you ever considered doing a few recordings on a solo album? I know plenty of people who really dig your music and would buy a record instantly.

[GBagley]

@sorencasonwood - I'll do a solo album eventually. I just have to write all the material first!

[HiImJerry8]

you should make a video explaining your technique!

[SilkTopHat]

@AnimeLagge They aren't cheap. A quick Google search showed one listed for $1,450.

@GBagley This. Your bass and the way you play it are some of the coolest things I've seen on the internet. I'm quite a fan of acoustic fingerstyle guitarists, but I've also always had a strong penchant for bass. This music is a lovely fusion of both.

Write away, Mr. Bagley. I for one am eagerly awaiting a studio release.
