who is playing guitar? drums?

So far I've been into every Hellborg project I've heard, so I'll have to pick this one up too.

like in the 2 last albums he still gets into that indian fusion stuff with percussionist V. Selvaganesh. but know they got this sitar player who plays a 5 string sitar (+a guitar pickup and plugged to guitar effects) - Niladri Kumar.
the new album is more like a prog indian then the musical stuff in the 2 last albums with shawn lane.
jonas plays a 6 string acoustic bass and the group does lots of unisons then groove stuff.

It's pretty good but I also miss Lane's playing.

Another great Hellborg release is the trio cd with Jeff Sipe and Paul Hanson... great playing!!!

thanks !!

but now im confused - was he using his six string Status Bass or his acoustic ?

DaveBeny · #11 12-31-2005, 09:08 AM

He's using this Status: essentially a six-string Energy tuned EADGBE and incorporating the 36v preamp and pickup positioning of the Status Hellborg sig model.

It's his main electric bass these days. He also has a six-string ABG but I don't know who built that.

Very nice!!! But makes me miss Shawn Lane, what a great talent!!!

Got my copy of 'Kali's Son' a couple of weeks ago. Some very cool indo-fusion. Transcribing some of the fast unison lines would be a challenging exercise! I think the most successful parts are where Kumar eases off on the distortion and the music breathes a bit more. I'll be interested to see Hellborg's next move.

PS. If you're into the indo-jazz sound, I can heartily recommend two reissues of British Indian guitarist Amancio D'Silva from the 60s/70s, 'Integration' and 'Konkan Dance' (a 1974 album that was unreleased until last week).

The trio on the new album is Hellborg, Niladri Kumar and Selvaganesh.

Hellborg's current touring trio is with Mattias Eklundh on guitar and Zoltan Csörsz Jr on drums.

Anyone who likes Hellborg's recent Indo-fusion work should checkout a great Indian guitarist called Prasanna (www.guitarprasanna) - he plays the electric guitar completely in the carnatic (Indian classical) tradition. I'd love to hear what he could do with Hellborg. He can also move into jazz and fusion styles. His most recent record has Alphonso Johnson and Victor Wooten sharing the bass chair.
