Hey all, I was lucky enough to play upright on this original tune by Tadhg Leahy if anyone’s interested in checking it out. Tadhg’s a great young Irish guitarist and the tune is influenced by Julian Lage, Nir Felder and some of the modern jazz styles. I'm playing my Christopher 401 flatback...

Nice one Radio, hopefully I'll have more to post soon enough!

Thanks Joshua!

Cheers BossOnBass, glad you're into it!

Nice one Oddly, glad you like it! See you over on the Bassist Ireland page sure!

Cheers!

Ah, nice one DrayMiles, really glad you like it! I haven't spent much time in Donegal or Coleraine but have been to Cork loads of times for festivals and gigs and that, it's a really great spot! Been down to the Jazz Festival a good few times and there's always some amazing playing going on...

Hey everyone, Myself and a couple of friends made a video of one of my tunes a month or so back and I figure it's worth sharing here in case anyone's interested in having a look. I'm playing my Christopher flatback with Spirocores through a Phil Jones Cub, also using a TC Electronic Ditto to...

SLO Surfer, thanks for the input, lots of good stuff to think about the next time I do any recording! Thanks csrund, it's a 401T which is a Flatback Gamba shaped model.

Hey all, Just wanted to share a recording I made recently here in Dublin. It was my first time recording my own tunes with a band and also my second time in the studio on double bass. I used my Christopher bass strung with Velvet Blues which I've recently changed for Tomastik Spirocores. For...

Got my first double bass, a Christopher 401 flatback four or so years now and I'm still a big fan of it! Here's a wee video of it if anyone wants to take a look, it's setup with Velvet Blues and a David Gage copper realist. Graham Heaney | Facebook There's one or two close calls tuning wise...

This video has some interesting thoughts on being stuck in a rut... It's by Dave Marks, a pretty serious player and educator.

JIM!

Thanks! There are some deadly suggestions in here. All the tunes have been great too! And Chris, It's not me who wants to limit myself to a bass solo. I have done one or two piano and horn solos in the past and to tell you the truth I enjoyed them more than most bass solos I've done...
