Whitney Houston – Just The Lonely Talking Again (Bass Cover)
So while I wanted to demo my recently acquired Kubicki Ex Factor bass I decided to cover one of my favorite songs by the one and only Whitney Houston.
This is my loose interpretation of the brilliant bass work done by Randy Jackson, in fact it's the second time ever in my life that I'm playing this song (the first one was take one for this video and I rushed a bit towards the end).

      @@KirillAfonin . Если видео отдельно снимали, то это все объясняет. Просто очень хороший звук, понятно что гитары, бас, электронные барабаны и клавишные можно в линию записать и проблем не будет, а вот с перкуссией, акустическими струнными и вокалом без персонального мониторинга такой чистоты звука не добиться.

    I’ve often wondered if Gabriel gave Tony Levin more freedom to stretch out and experiment musically & sonically than other artists would typically allow on a studio recording from the bass player..?? Because I mean the Gabriel-Levin catalog has some pretty epic bass playing and wild sounds.. Maybe you know this already.. But Levin actually recorded very tunes with chopsticks 🥢 hooked onto his RH fingers w/elastic bands to emulate a drummer hitting a snare with sticks!! 😎

    • @KirillAfonin
      @KirillAfonin Před 6 měsíci

      Yeah, he called them "Funk fingers" and even sold them for a while on his website. I believe he got this idea from Jerry Marotta who experimented with playing guitar with his drum sticks.

  • @JasonWright-mc6dz
    @JasonWright-mc6dz Před 6 měsíci

    Ive always liked the way Reverend approaches model design; Unique, Funky body shapes & finish colors. Forward thinking features (that actually work) like the non-binding string tree bar that includes the 3rd unwound g string on the guitar models. I must admit that I’ve never really looked at thier Basses seriously. But I really dig this model! Certainly very affordable and very much in my wheelhouse of MM + J basses Sandberg TM/Lakland 55-02/Stingray’s & J-basses with the oddball funky Reverend

  • @JasonWright-mc6dz
    @JasonWright-mc6dz Před 6 měsíci

    That’s maybe the best 55-02 I’ve ever heard recorded for a YT video!! Is that thing just plain stock.. Just a well setup instrument, dialed in right & played well?? I imagine the signal was sent through a good quality amp and/or DI + A decent interface ..???

    • @KirillAfonin
      @KirillAfonin Před 6 měsíci

      Thanks a lot! It has a different preamp, I've upgraded to John East U-Retro from stock Bartolini to have more versatility (like bright mode and passive tone knob). But the stock preamp can sound like this as well. Otherwise you're right, it's just fresh strings, proper setup and Universal Audio Apollo interface with a bit of compression (iirc I used UA 1176 plugin)

    This is top 2 of my favorite songs from Whitney. She was only 24 years old when she sung this re-make of The Manhattans original song. Little does anyone know, former American Idol judge, Randy Jackson, was the bassist playing on Whitney's version. You did a phenomenal job playing this. Even though it was played with a Moog bass synth, would you do a video playing the bass on Whitney's re-make version of The Isley Brothers classic hit, For The Love Of You?

      Thanks a lot! This Lakland was sold long ago to buy a '78 Fender Precision. And while I love this P-bass and Mercalli equally I find myself reaching for Mercalli a bit more. P-bass has more focused and pronounced tone while Mercalli has slightly more low end, so I choose the one that fits the track better. They're both great. And I miss that Lakland too.

    Awesome playing and a nice, thick sound! Reverend seems to be pretty focused on Rock players, but I think their designs also work great for Jazz, Soul, Funk and Pop, and your demo proves this perfectly! I really like the distinctive character or Reverend instruments! I just wish they'd build more 5-strings! A 5-string Triad or Raymond (sadly discontinued, this had the "correct" MM pickup position) would be amazing!

    Dude this was so nuanced and perfect. I really appreciate this, are you free styling or is that exactly how the original sounds. It’s hard to hear the bass in a lot of Recordings except when the band plays live. Very well done. You must have special ears to pick up the bass frequencies like that.

    • @KirillAfonin
      @KirillAfonin Před rokem

      Thank you so much! My parents had a big record collection and I loved this album as a kid. As I revisited these recordings from my childhood lately I realized how much they’ve influenced me as a musician. This is my loose interpretation of the original recording. The main groove and accents are in place while filling bits and pieces are improvised (I didn’t learn the exact part, instead I read chord charts while playing). So it’s close to original but not exactly identical.
