Finally I’ve got the chance to put some time on the Fretless project. Oh that was fun. Happy holidays y’all.
Wow @Al1885, great song, perfect playing with an appropriate bass tone. Love your relaxed style. Cool triplets. 5 performance!
Dang @Al1885 that was awesome!
You’re making me want to try the copper nylons on my fretless now!
Very nicely done and the tone was superb! Nice mellow song. Excellent!
@John_E i know I want to put that on my Tobias Renegade and see how it sound. It a bit warmer than the white gold for sure. I think this one is the the brightness of the 4 La Bella.
Very nice job @Al1885 ,
Love the tone you’re getting from the fretless , worked really nicely in the mix.
Nice relaxed playing around the fretboard
Cheers Brian
Hey BassBuzzers! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
I returned to NJ last week and realized I had hadn’t played the Hofner for a while. I went to Constantine’s website and grabbed a couple of Beatles tunes to try out. Here is the first one with (hopefully) a second one the way before I have to get on the road again. I hope you enjoy it and as always comments and critiques are welcome.
Very nice @JerryP. I covered this song a few months ago along with the drum part, but you definitely played it more smoothly than I did, and with the correct tone to boot.
Thanks @sfadams ! It is one of my all time favorite Beatles songs, so I really wanted to try it.
Thanks Brian! I played around with the Zoom B1 and created a simple patch through the Rumble 100 that sounds very close to McCartney’s tone. At least it sounds that way to me.
Great job @JerryP , great tone and timing. Of course I would expect no less from you and your mighty Hofner.
(You reminded me, I’ve been giving all my loving to my Hofner Club and haven’t played my Hofner violin bass in a while).
Great job @JerryP…. Love the deeper tones that you’re getting from the Hof by playing up closer to the fretboard. Flawless….!!
Thanks Pam! I was having trouble standing and playing the Hofner due to the neck dive. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get comfortable with it so I decided to sit down and play.
Thanks again.
