Covering The Basses
by @jamkar
Liner Notes
#all-about-the-bass The plan: Lay down a borrowed bass riff from Charlie Mingus. Use some chop sticks to drum the body of the bass. Finally, add an original melody in the upper range with plenty of delay.

Loving the sound of this. A fun experiment.
Somehow I got Hungry from the intro 😂 Lovely bass play and sweet Melody
finely executed idea of building something new from the mingus bass line. i ws looking forward to hearing where you would go with it, and was not disappointed. (i worked for mingus one night, counting the paid admissions to his gig so the management could not cheat him of his cut of the door)
Wow! I am always taken by your first hand experiences with these guys Bill. Thank you in Aces!
That‘s pretty cool! Melodies played in the higher regions of the bass fret board always have a special vibe. The chop stick sounds also sound interesting, I might look into that a bit more for percussion samples.
