A new (completly) solo bass album

Aram Bedrosian · #1 06-26-2007, 03:37 PM

Hello fellow players,
I would like to invite you all to check out some songs from my new solo bass album here: www.myspace.com/arambedrosian.

It was recorded all with one bass, no other instruments, and no layering of multiple parts.

I hope you enjoy the songs and I would love your feedback!

Thanks so much!

Aram

Congrats!
Amazing control and stamina!
I really liked the cover. Simple and effective.

Very cool music and great chops. I like it a lot. Your Ritter is amazing as well.

I dig it. And MAAAAAAN I love Ritters!!!!!

EDIT: Ok so the more I listen to this, the more I like it. You do a great job of turning challenging techniques into actual music (in my opinion), which most people who can do those techniques don't. I might have to grab this off itunes. How did you record the Ritter (direct?)? It sounds so good I would love to have one someday.

Filling up the sonic space while giving each song a unique sound presented a very interesting challenge. Many of the album cuts were recorded purely direct; many were mixed (in different ratios) with a miked amp track using a Trace Elliot head through a Mesa Boogie 2x10.

take care and I really appreciate your ears and your questions!

Freakin' amazing man! Sounds incredible!

Sometimes that Ritter has a tone like an Ex-Factor.

Thanks so much Zuma,

It's funny you think that because I love Ex-factors. It might be that punchy Drop D sound the Ritter gets that you're hearing. Those Ex-factors are crazy basses.. There are so many pieces of wood in the necks (if I remember correctly)

Take care thanks for your feedback!

p.s. I have some new videos floating around Youtube if you would like to see some more solo bass stuff.
