Ken Smith Burner Lead Bass

[Les Fret]

I just recorded this video with my Ken Smith Burner 6. The solo/melody I consider as lead bass for lack of a better term. The backing bass is also the Ken Smith.

Do others here also use their bass as a lead instrument? Let me know what you think of you will. Thanks, Barend

Nice as always @Les Fret .

since you asked I have several basses with piccolo strings that are used for guitarish parts for chords and leads. My main piccolo is a Carvin LB50 tuned EADG and have a Harmony H22B for blues or jazzier tones in the same tuning.

Thanks. Ok, cool piccolo tuning. Have tried it a couple of months but I prefer tenor tuning or six string bass myself for the higher stuff and lead lines. Because I also play a lot of guitar piccolo tuning appeals less to me. But I can see why bass players who don’t play much guitar like it.

Thanks Doc! I have used a Neural DSP guitar amp plugin for that sound.
