New start
Good evening! Started to write on my vintage 10-string at last:) I always been a bassist, but recently every free minute I get seems to draw me to this wonderful instrument... Should I be worried? My basses are getting dusty. That hasn't happened before in the last 20 or so years Here's the first one: Dry Stone Structures [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJUuVVFu8lM[/youtube]

Re: New start
Nice. That swings really well, and rhythmically it's really catchy. I liked how you played "across the board," so to speak. I saw Andy mentioning in his YouTube comment that you're using a new tuning; I'd bet this piece grew straight out of it. That's a keeper! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJUuVVFu8lM[/youtube]

Re: New start
That was great! Loved it. Couldn't help my foot tapping and head bopping along. I can understand, after seeing that, why your basses are collecting dust in the corner.

Re: New start
That was great plus there's no head in the video to distract us with your good looks.

Re: New start
Excellent first effort - great to see how your hands move so freely across the grid of strings. Looking forward to more Bengt
