Here's a new instrumental song featuring my new Roscoe SKB Standard + 5 fretless and Queen Koa (Roscoe LG-3005).

I really love the singing tone of the new fretless. IMO the JJ pickups really work well with the woods (mahogany body/maple neck/diamondwood finger board) of that bass.

Nice Joe.

Told you she sings.

 

[SteveC]

Always love your stuff, Joe. I have an Apogee Jam and Garage Band on my iPad but no creative ideas to put down.

NOW you're chasing the right bus!

NOW you're chasing the right bus!

I'm trying. It's just so easy for me to get side tracked...like my old 6 coming up for the 2nd time.

 

[SteveC]

Well, when my 6 gets here Tuesday I'm gonna start working on Bach cello sonatas and Dotzauer etudes. Try to get thinking more melodically.

We'll see if some inspiration comes from that. I'm sure I think that things I try sound too simple but I know that's where you have to start.

Here's a new all bass instrumental (except for some light keys) of the Tomlin/Redman song "The Wonderful Cross". It's based on the awesome traditional hymn "When I survey The Wondrous Cross". I still love those old hymns!
This tune features my Roscoe fretted and fretless basses (tuned E-C).

Gorgeous, Joe!

We played that this morning. I got to do the melody at the intro while pedaling a d underneath. Sounded pretty nice.

Thanks Greg and Mark. That song has such a pretty melody. Definitely one of my favorite old hymns and I love the chorus that Tomlin/Redman added.

I posted this over at the Roscoe Club III thread but given this thread is about soundclips, here's a youtube clip I did a few days ago with my Roscoe Century 6 fretless. Love this bass!!

 

[RocketMusic]

Very nice!! Love that tune, and your take on it is fantastic.

Here's a new instrumental Bass Orchestra version of "My Heart Is Yours".
This is based on Kristen Stanfill's version. I love the way he transitions to "I Surrender All" at the end.
This one features my Roscoe fretted and fretless basses and was recorded using Reason 6.5.

I thought that I'd redo a Bass Orchestra tune that I did a couple years ago using my Roscoe LG-3005 Demeter/Bart (solos) and Roscoe 3006 Bart/Bart (Chords, main bass and high part on middle solo).
It's so nice having a 6 again to play all of the high harmonies and chordal parts!

Lovely playing! You make that fretless sing.

Thanks very much Gard. I've posted on the Facebook page - how do I get to the Roscoeheads page?

And a big thanks to you and the team at Roscoe for producing such wonderful sounding instruments that are such a pleasure to play!!
