05 Double Bass diaries – Faking as jazz player

FavoriteLoadingAdd to favorites YouTube Preview Image

Chapter 5 in a beginners journey to learning the Double/Upright bass
Playing to a Jamey Aebersold jazz playalong Vol. 11 Herbie Hancock, the track “Maiden voyage”.
Im trying to get my bearings with the open D string and the D octave harmonic on the G string – Its good to navigate with open strings as safety fallbacks.
Im playing in tune more than 60% of the time;-)
Recorded direct from the piezo pickup

theRicketyBones: thanks, soporific. i was just trying to find more info on it (price, reviews, etc.) so i knew how to compare it to other basses/brands.

soporific: @theRicketybones If the headstock says JBP, it's probably a JB Player Artist:-) I found a websitelink, but it's not working.

Mattmatic: Hey Thomas! I just want to say, nice work nice site. Keep it up!

theRicketyBones: Hey, can anyone help me with figuring out what bass i have? i got it used, and its amazing. all the headstock says is 'JBP Artist'. it has gold hardware, j-p pickups and 24 frets. i cant find it anywhere. anyone think they can help help?
