Happy New Year one and all - hope you had fun, whatever you did - London was shaking its booty...

OK, here are two new vids for you to potentially enjoy (or hate) - one is me making some loops and slappy sounds on my NT Thumb, and the other's me going loop-tastic on my fretless:

<a href=http://www.munkio.com/music/Victor/Funk%20Jam.mov>Slap Loop</a> This is a newy... ;)

Hope something takes your fancy.

Cheers

Hi Geoff - man I just got back from a kicking rehearsal with my band - hope you dig the loops, the fretless one is my fave - but the slap thing ends up nice and funky too. That's what I love about building a loop - it really can lead and end in unexpected places... :) Hope you like 'em - they are pretty big files so sorry for the wait.

The loop pedal is the Boss RC20 - which both Vic W and Bona use - it's a cracking pedal and the sound quality is really good - there's a new version which has upped the sample time from 5 minutes to about 20mins, I think - it's such a fun device because once you master the basics of playing in time and looping the riffs at the right point you can have hours and hours of fun - and actually get pretty creative. Of course I'm not taking the loop thing to the level of Steve Lawson etc but you can see/hear what is possible with just a couple of simple riffs.

Thanks for watching

M

Thanks DW - I'm really working towards something bigger than what I've done so far - I just put some new strings on the Warwick today and I taped a few more things that kick the crap out of these! I'm going to be posting a few DT lessons on my site soon as well - because you guys deserve 'em. Thanks again for all the positive thoughts - I'm really going to take this further - honest guv! ;)

Hey man!

Great stuff! But again, what else is new, eh? :p :D

Love the harmonics at the end of the slap loop. Has a very graceful sound to it. The fretless stuff is very tasty as well.

I was going to ask you what you were using, but I see it's done been asked and answered.

Because of you, my friend, now that I've come up with a little money to spend, I'm seriously considering getting one of these Looping Stations. :hyper: :D

It's more of a want than a need, so it may very well take a back seat for a bit, but I would really like to get one eventually. That would work well because I usually jam with a friend who is a drummer, so I can lay down a little line, then play melody over it and it'll sound like a tune!

Thanks for the continued postings and looking forward to new stuff.

Go for it man - you won't regret it - any looper (Line 6 make good ones as well) will help you in some way; it takes the hassle out of making multiple-bass part tunes - just makes sure you tape the ideas!

I've added a couple of new videos today - a really funky loop with my Whammy pedal and a solo bass version of that tune 'Plaintive Pulse' (now called 'Plasma') that I posted as an MP3 a while back - they are all here:

Tight man! All tight!

Since you are the one I've heard the most stuff from, I'm gonna PM you some questions on your recording.

I remembered I wanted to get a better means of recording and now that I have some money, that may take 1st place. :D

Thanks!

What first struck my mind when I saw this video was:
A have to learn double thumping.
Second:
I have to get a looper.
Third:
I have to go practice.

Some really inspiring playing in there, man.
I tried a Boss loop-station in the local music-shop a while ago, and I got to admit; I didn't understand much. I put down some grooves, but couldn't get them in sync.
It seems like a well worth investement to buy one. But I aint gonna afford it in a while, because of that Fafner head wich is heading my way:D
