Sign in to disble this ad
I can't find too many people who want to play what I do, so i'm starting to think about doing a few solo gigs. I'm looking for some inspiration. Anyone know of a few bassists who play and sing without accompaniment?
All I can find is thousands of guitarists... |

and i believe Todd Johnson has done similar projects |

They both do great things in
music...

P.S. I have very interesting recording, made by Riccardo Del Fra with french vocalist Annie Ebrel "Velutto di Luna". They play original music from Bretagne, with all intonation nuances, scales etc.
Really wonderful thing, but not solo... |

On a side note, whenever I have seen Melissa auf Der Maur live, she always does a particular song with just her bass for accompaniment. Can't remember the one but she pulled it off, it was beautiful.

Pretty sweet stuff http://www.margreteir.com/plotur.htm
If you click on the top album you can get a little taste.
