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.

Thanks, glad you like the tune! As for the bass getting lost in the mix at around 6 minutes, I think a large part of that is that I switched from bowing to pizz at that point and there's a big volume difference between the two. I figure it's a technique issue on my end where I should be able...

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...

I hope this is the right place for this. If not, Mods, feel free to move it. Hey now, I'm looking for recommendations of Jazz bass solos to transcribe. I'll give you a little background first which might help narrow things down; I'm going into my third year of a Jazz degree course and...

I have a Lakland JO5 called "Street Justice" a Surf Green Fender P named "The Mintstrument" and an upright which I'm still trying to find a name for, currently it goes by "chestnut"

Great stuff!

Hey now, The funk band I play in just got some video from a gig earlier this year supporting Kings Go Forth (a great funk/soul group from Milwaukee in the US). It was filmed in The SugarClub in Dublin. Just thought I'd throw it up here if anyone is interested in having a look. The...

Here's a short video from last summer of the main band I play with Castlepalooza 2010 -The Candidates - YouTube and one from this summer of a band I depped in for a one off gig Trinity Orchestra play Daft Punk - YouTube The sound isn't great in the second one but it was a pretty baller...

Hey now, Here's ours; https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Candidates/72884013820 We should probably try to get a catchier URL, 10 piece funk band from Dublin. Cheers!

We just put up two more new tracks, if anyone is interested. Cheers, Graham.

Yo Thanks DWbass! It's even better that we both play Joe Osbornes, so I know you're a man of good taste! As for Pass The Brack, I think Im in agreement with you, it doesn't come across as well on record as the other tune which is a bit more structured. Thanks again for the input... and for...

Hey all, The funk/soul band that I play with have just finished recording our first Ep and have put up a couple of the tunes on myspace if anyone is interested in having a listen.... Link Removed any comments, critiques and all that kind of thing would be very welcome. Cheers! Graham.

Invalid Link Removed Rick James B*tch!!!

man! he gets great tone even when he's just clapping... guess it really is all in the fingers!

After a gig a couple of weeks ago a guy came up to me and said: "I don't know what sacrifices you made to become such a good bass player, but thanks" I almost melted!

+1 on "A Pair of Brown Eyes" also I don't think "Come on, Eileen" is really an Irish song

I saw Tom Waits during the summer just gone. He seemed to have flour on the floor where he was standing and when he stomped up and down it made a nice little poof of smoke/dust. you weren't supporting Tom Waits were you?

Hey, just thought i'd share this with you all... My band were playing a gig a couple of weeks ago, it was our biggest gig to date as we were last band on in the ballroom at a jazz festival. Anyway after the gig i was outside having a smoke with the guitarist when this chick came over and...

Cool, thank you Dom.

Hey, I just got asked to do a dep gig for a singer songwriter and was wondering about the effect used on one of the tracks. Here is her myspace... Link Removed the song is "narcotic". sorry im pretty ignorant about effects...think it might be a synth? any help would be appreciated...

dEUS The Ideal Crash has to be in there somewhere

EEK! im not sure what to make of this club...when i first saw it i thought "deadly, a club i might want to join" but all that giving out about people who aren't quite irish enough really put me off...kinda bad form i think, so no dice chief

I'd like to order a nice lobster-based cocktail

Piranahrama A Twelve Minute Stonking I think that they might already exist but... Fisted Sister

for some reason it only happened when he faced the amp and was quite close to it...which makes me think it might have had something to do with the amp itself.

I'm not sure, i was using my fender MIM active jazz and he was using a ibanez soundgear six string...which i think is active too?

Hey everyone. I played my first gig with my new markbass Mini CMD 121P last night. The sound engineer said there wasn't enough XLR inputs on the desk so used what looked like an unbalanced XLR to jack cable to connect the D.I on the amp to the desk. we sound checked and everything was grand...
