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

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.

Great to be able to hear (and watch!) you play bass.
Mesmerizing. Incredible mix.
Sounds great (of course).

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!
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! 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!
Great groove, great playing, great arrangement. Always great to see you post.

Great post! Thanks Charlie, generous words and super appreciated. I hope all is excellent in SC! Still in my top 3 choices for moving out of Texas!

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

Thanks for sharing,

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

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
