  • Having a good time on my '75 jazz, playing my song "Trill Seekers" with lotsa groovy trills, slides & staccato thumb/finger plucking to juice things up, it's so much fun to play! I recorded the bass with an Ebs Microbass II DI into a Focusrite pro 24 audio interface into my pc, no fx were used, just an Ebs Multicomp Compressor. I used Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings, the pickups are stock from '75. Full band studio recording of this song out on all streaming services! Check it out on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/4xffgr... Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/tril... Also available in 48khz, 24bit lossless audio on Bandcamp: remcohendriks.bandcamp.com/tr...
    Thanks for watching!
    TRILL SEEKERS is out now on VINYL! I recorded this song last year with The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown and an absolute killer line-up, check it here: • Trill Seekers (feat. T... You can buy the 7" gatefold single on purple splatter vinyl right here: bit.ly/TrillSeekersBananas

    What I like most about this is the fact that he plays each note well, not just quickly. Each note has a clear start, stop, and purpose, and he positions his left hand solidly every single time ... especially at 4:07 ... that's special.

      @dislikes can be for a large number of reasons …. don't like that youtube suggested the video, his stringly hair, the color of his bass, bass and drum only, etc
