Warwick Bass Camp 2016 Video Interview with Jeff Hughell

[TalkBass]

"Six Feet Under" and "Reciprocal" bassist Jeff Hughell is featured in this video produced by Warwick at Bass Camp 2016. Jeff has refined his skills on the 7-string bass guitar since 1999 and is now regarded as one of the most prominent examples of the virtuosic use of 7-string basses, which he impressively demonstrates on his solo albums.

In 2016 Warwick built the first fretless Custom Shop Masterbuilt Bass for Jeff, which he personally received at the company headquarters in Markneukirchen at the Warwick Bass Camp 2016.

Interview topics include Jeff's techniques such as tapping, the different approaches in his solo project compared to Six Feet Under and, of course, Jeff also presents his brand new Warwick Custom Shop Masterbuilt Corvette NT fretless 7-String Bass.

Nice looking bass but after sitting with it and not playing a note throughout the whole video he does a demo with a 4 string?

 

[Maryvillebass]

Noticed that. still wondering what the bass sounded like!

 

[JW_Manhattan]

Obviously, the dude can't play it in tune. The instrument will probably live in a case the rest of its life.

But that's okay, too.

 

[Vic Bass]

beautiful bass
even if i could afford it i wouldnt buy
im still strugglin with the 4 strings i have now

Whoah, Jeeeze! Just completely shocking that he didn't even play it!

I mean even if he possibly has dead zero ear for fretless intonation I still want to hear the amplified sound of the thing. Does Warwick's marketing team think this vid will help to sell instruments.

Whoah, Jeeeze! Just completely shocking that he didn't even play it!

I mean even if he possibly has dead zero ear for fretless intonation ( which I suspect he doesn't ) I still want to hear the amplified sound of the thing. REALLY bad call on Warwick's marketing team if they thought this vid would help advertise to sell instruments.

Maybe he couldn't tune it either.

I love how his beard is totally diagonal

 

[PaulReside]

Wait a second guys, I know nothing about this guy or the band he plays for so I have NO IDEA if he has any chops on fretless. To me all the blame falls on Warwick for not doing a proper video showcasing a custom build. Lets cut the guy a break, just cause he looks like a metalhead (who sometimes have killer chops) does not mean he has a tin ear. Carry on.
