The Holiday Concert was great!

mofojo — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:51:46 +0000

People enjoyed the Studio Singers performance of What’ll I Do?, Hallelujah I love Her So, Sway (Quien Sera), Smack Dab In The Middle, and Peter Gunn.

Studio 8 received a lot of nice complements for our performance of “Smack Dab In the Middle”. Studio 8 also performed at the City Jazz Big Band concert. It was fun for me to switch between bass and vocal performance. Look for some pictures of that soon.

I am trying to track down some Holiday Concert pictures, wish me luck.

Flatwounds on a Fender Jazz Bass

mofojo — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 08:30:11 +0000

Take a look at the new strings. These Rotosound RS77LD Jazz Bass Strings were recommended by Greg at World of Stings. Thanks Greg.

Click on the pictures to get a better look.

The feel is better than the round wounds that I had before. There is more high-end (twang) in the Rotosound strings. I like to dip out the high end with the bass’s EQ though.

Mmmm bottom….
