Armin Metz "Sanskar Valley"

bass solo version of Sanskar Valley
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Armin-Metz/103854669745058
recorded one afternoon in 2009 on stage in a non-concert situation. You hear the direct line signal of the bass, mixed by Pete Karam. Thanks to Onnen Bock for filming. We thought it´s nice for some of you to have close insights into the fingerings in some places of the song. The bass is a Neuser Cliffhanger 6-string with standart tuning. Thanks to Delano pickups and Elixir strings.

monumental mate, really brilliant.... can i ask you what effect you were using to get that sound..rob

[arminmetz]

@FUNKMASTERFOURTWO thanks! Pete Karam did the mix, he usually uses Altiverb for reverb

[arminmetz]

Yes, custom shape of the body, it´s ebony fretboard and I think alder/bubinga body/top, passive electronic, Delano pickups

Damn that is awesome! Can you do another one playing Child on a Beach? That is a Neuser Bass right? How do you switch it to the fretless sound? Are you going to release tabs for any of these?

[arminmetz]

@MrScorn76 thanks! Some ideas for other videos in my mind, Child on the Beach would be a nice one too, let´s see. Yes Neuser bass, on this one no fretless sound, that you can get with the Neuser NFS bridge (don´t know if it´s still available). I´ve got the midi notes of right/left hands of this, if anyone can transfer it into tabs, I´m up to it.

I remember hearing you on a Hotwire bass sampler years ago! Love your stuff with Nadishana Trio :) Was hoping to find some footage of you playing live with Imogen Heap as well on YouTube but no luck so far. You inspire me to play my bass more often!

[arminmetz]

@stumblecat nice to hear from you. There is rarely footage with Imogen where you see me playing but you can hear me:) in most of the ones of 2010.

I'm sorry about the multiple postings, man. The "post" button's in a funny spot on my iPhone. Keep on hitting it by mistake. Anyhow, could you tell me a bit about the electronics?

[3rdeyebass]

@3rdeyebass ...woods were used for the top, body and fretboard
