:eyebrow: so.... we are in Bassists....

Anyway, Nice noodling Stew!!!! I really dig #2.

Dude, don't get pissed :D

did you move this then? sorry about that...

:help:

ok, wait a minute! you know Au6 ? and even better, he uses Au6 outside of e-mails to me?

;) he started all that by spelling my name Gre9

its funny, i don't think i have even heard Au6's finished version of the tune written by me for my daughter!

LOL

I gotta check in with him!
 
Au6 and I go way back! We both took lessons from Stan Penridge (song writing credits on a few Kiss albums and guitarist on the Peter Criss solo album too). Au6's father even married my ex and I back in the early 90s (he was Mayor of the little town we are from). I use to hang at his house and jam for hours... we use to hook up when he's back in Jersey, but the last time was like 4 years ago now.

I don't think it's done... he sent me a bunch of rough takes to listen too. Do you play in the Hip hop thang too?

Anyway, I didn't move it, I posted in "Basses" but then I saw it in "Bassists".

Stew is a great player... thanks for posting the link!

i wish! we used to have a band called campbell's soup, august came in after 2 or 3 gigs... it was a dirty hip hip hop funk disco reggae improv band... stew even did two nights with us...

it was a very loose group!

snoop dog was coming to town, and the guys wanted to have something happening at a hip local club just incase...

but it was the band 9 and Zen's debut as a duo in big sky montana... so what was Campbells soups grabbed a variety of other players and did the gig... and now that group is "the hip hop side project" they are really popular here...

Au6 later started playing guitar in 9 and Zen as well, once we realized we were not pleased as a duo...

so, to answer, no i'm not in the hip hop thang...

but as you can see its all connected

bozeman music is like a volley ball game... when ever the teams switch who has the serve, we all just rotate!
 
:eek: :eyebrow: :rolleyes:

whoa!

I don't check the forums for, like, a day and look what happens!

thanks, cats. you are all way too cool! wow, I am just blown away!

I posted those clips for local cats who were thinking of hiring me, just so they could have some idea of what I can do. what Greg failed to mention is that those were recorded when I hadn't had a fretless in my hands for something like 15 months! there are some serious clams in there!

I sign off with a hearty :o

from blushing lows,

Stew

Cool! I love this sort of thing. Reminds me of the stuff at my web site ( http://www.unpronounceable.com/solobass/ ) except people like his stuff. ;)

Nice sounding bass too.

hey Dave,

I think your stuff is killin'; I wouldn't even have the nerve to compare my playing with yours! the bass does sound nice, though. that's all Fred's work.

:D

from the lows,

Stew

No need to be sarcastic. ;)

Seriously though, thanks. I appreciate it. Means a lot coming from you (and you too Gre9). You both have my utmost respect.

It's hard to know. I get hundreds of downloads of my tracks every month but pretty much zero feedback. I know it's all very rough so I haven't been surprised.

I hear that! I check my logs every few days... I get more stuff downloaded that I care to admit and only a handful of comments offered up.

Stew, I just gave a listen to it on my "no speakers attached" computer at the office ;) Maybe we can get you to #1

:bassist:
 
Damn, this is some swank playing. The first one is easily my ideal form of fretless solo playing, and generally what I aspire to myself. I'm a few years and several strings behind, but I definitely hope to catch up with that one eventually! That's mean, and you've got chops, but more importantly, taste. Very swank.

PS: I'm also generally pretty elated that I could just click on it and listen to it instantly...but that's more of my newfound high-speed glory. :) Great tracks though!
