A vid of Dan Birch featuring a mediocre bass player
« on: May 23, 2015, 09:56:38 AM »
As usual I didn't used the same bass during recordings and while shooting the vid. The bass in the vid is a German 500/1 V62. Can you guess on which bass played recording this song? :)

Hope you like it.

There's a lot of mediocre bass players in the world but a solid bottom-end will always get work... ;)

I was going to guess '76 TB...

BTW I can't play well with a plectrum so I'm faking all through this vid;) It was recorded with the black, '78 Musicmaster before I installed the lipstick.

And don't be self-deprecating. I've heard of you but I hadn't heard on Dan Birch before.

True, Dave:)  :mrgreen:

Dan Birch is a good friend. He recorded this song for a vinyl record with only local acts, financed by the local government. I co-produced it and he asked me if I could play bass on his song, which was nice of him and nice to do. He's a singer-songwriter playing a lot in my region.

Sounds more like he's using you for his ill-gotten gains, and your ability to promote aforementioned item in your mag, etc, etc... :mrgreen:

Hope you got at least MU rates... either that or a receipt to go against your tax return for the charity work deductions...! :vader:

Yes, Warwick made the violin bass for me in the Custom Shop. If you can dream it, they can build it. It's solid wengé of course, with MEC toasters.

A solid body violin bass? Then you must have dreamed of a Gibson EB-1!  :mrgreen:

In the great book about the Höfner Violin Bass by Nick Wass, who is a Höfner employee, it's written that Walter Höfner (I believe it was Walter) must have seen the Gibson at a trade show and that chances are very big he was influenced. An honest statement.
