Feedback?
OK.
WOW!
You continue to amaze and impress me, Sly. You have such a strong sense of melody, and I really love the lines you groove on. I think that we could all learn a thing or two from you as a player. In fact, you epitomize what I have always said, in that bass trems are a useful and functional tool to add to the musical landscape. You don't over-do it, but rather, you do everything tastefully, and with true feeling. I really do love the way you play!

Thanks Eric. I really appreciate the kind words...
Like I've said before, the trem has really opened up a world of possibilities for me - so many ways that it can be used to expand the standard bass language. For me it was a way to get a fresh outlook on the instrument and I'm really having a ball with it...

Not on DVD, but on a couple of hard drives. It was a short set of three pieces opening for a Harp-guitar - vocal duo.
Are you asking because you're interested or because you're tired of seeing them?? ;-)

i NEVER get tired of watching other peoples stuff.
well unless they suck, which you probably did 20 years ago, but not any more I see why you play with the thumb, as I watch you hold the bar.
and no I asked about the DVD because this video may have been a small part of a larger performance.

It's pretty much a small part of a small performance...I'll probably get around to putting the other two videos together someday soon...
Let's see 20 years ago?? I was probably in better technical shape because I was practicing way more back then, but experience is priceless...;-)

Very nice - really tasteful & melodic playing, nice use of the Kahler, it's really becoming part of your style. It's great to see how other people use them. Thanks

Thanks.
Other than the Kahler, the bass is a stock Fender Jaguar with both pickups running passive in series. I'm running straight to the board throught an Eventide Pitchfactor with a Micro P chorus style effect. The reverb was coming from the FOH digital mixing board. I believe there are pictures of the bass on the 'Introduce yourself' thread titled 'New from up north'...
