Bass GROOVE w/ BIAB 70's TV theme style - Ernie Ball Bongo 6 Demo song. 70's style, TV Theme Groove.

Hey PGM friends!

As a bassist natively, my bass collection is far greater than than my guitar collection. I did get this EB Bongo 6 a few months back but struggle with the tighter string spacing, though enjoy the light weight. I made a demo for a sale ad.

This is a GREAT example (in my opinion) of using BIAB with your own tracks to write and create some killer music. Wishing ya'll a FANTASTIC weekend! RG

This groove breaks down like this

RG Tracks
- Drums
- Bass
- Vintage Analog Strings

BIAB Real Tracks
Acoustic Piano
Electric Piano
Clav 1
Clav 2
Wah Guitar

Stunning, as always, RG.

Great to be able to hear (and watch!) you play bass.

Mesmerizing. Incredible mix.

Sounds great (of course).

First time I've seen a 6-string bass - let alone seen one played. You handle it masterfully. Nice track.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

That's a big bass...Imagine going from that to a Fender Bass VI?
Excellent funking on a theme.
The arrangement was cool as were the instruments in it - though the string synth seemed a little out of place.
Cool.

Brother Floyd! Always great to see your post sir! Thank you for the nice words!
Yeah, not much bass action here on PG forums... but it would be nice to see! It might the most supported instrument to progress with using BIAB! cool

Have a great Sunday!

Thank you Brian! Appreciate the listen!

1975 Anthony Jackson Bassist extraordinaire commissioned the first 6 string BEADGC Bass to tour with Roberta Flack.
His work with Lee Ritenour is an inspiration (Lee also!) Still plays them today!

Its often seen in a Jazz Fusion context where the bass is used as a solo instrument as well as a support. Certainly takes getting used to as a player. Alot of string space and material to manage and keep the sound clean!

Cheers, thank Ray – appreciate the listen. Yeah, though It’s a standard 34” 6 string. The two in the back, the Yamaha John Patitucci JP2 models, now those boys are big! 12 lbs each.

Analog strings out of place? Goodness not around here! laugh That is the one thing holding it all in place! The sound of an era, the vintage analog 70s strings put the extra sugar in the mix!

Think classic Tavares - grin cool

Greg, shoot! That’s a heap of praise! Bass playing doesn't inspire many! There is no way you have stopped improving, I have heard those prolific BIAB tracks you churn out and they are both excellent and impressive! Appreciate the good words, cool RG

That's a killer track, all right.

My own bass playing doesn't venture much further than root-and-fifth, so it was nice to see how it really is done. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

As nothing but a bluegrass upright thumper for decades I have just enough
experience to appreciate that amazing playing. Not that in my wildest dreams
I could do it but, man, is it ever fun to listen to and watch.

Thanks for sharing,

A little disco style embellishment ! As an Austinite David, I have witnessed plenty of players who hold an enviable R/5 groove! Plus, Root/5 = the money zone! crazy

J&B, thank you! That is how I feel about Bluegrass! But love a great hillbilly swing!

Hello TexasHeartRush,

Nice demonstration of your talents as a bass player. It is normal to have your bass playing by the volume highlighted in this video. It was a pleasant listening and a great discovery.

Best regard

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
