@ Pepino : and you can do it with this baby..... it' s actually not that tough with this instrument......

[PepinoMichoacan]

That is really sweet :) Makes me want to switch to double bass !

[probype]

@PepinoMichoacan ... and you can do it with this baby..... doesn' t take too much space, it' s rather portable and easy to adapt if you come from an electric bass.

maybe it's written that way but when you're playing the "b" sections in the head of the tune you're going into Samba feel (a' one a' two) while the congas and timbales are still playing tumbao (cubano).

A lot of bassists confuse Samba with Salsa but it doesn't make it musical.

[probype]

thank you and you are absolutely right. Bear in mind that this was not rehersed at all, almost 2 years ago got this baby the day before all the way from the US, got down in my studio with a friend and a camera and taped over the base, more carried away by enthusiasm that by technique. I played mainly jazz until then, then started really studying latin bass since then and since I have been a percussionist for the years before, hence my agreeing with your comment, thanks again... Ciao

Amazing skills and music.

[probype]

[TiqueO6]

Cool! Glad to hear you're sticking with it.
