Greetings from Sweden!
Hi there!
My name is Andreas Henningsson and I come from a small town Kristinehamn, in Sweden, for the moment living in Skurup in the Swedish south studying jazz and improvisational at a great school called Skurups Folkhögskola. I play mainly doublebass but I occasionally play other instruments like cello, tuba electric bass or whatever I can get away with. I mostly play modern jazz and almost free jazz/improvisation. But the sound that I feel most comfortable with is the good old gut sound! I really love listening to Mingus, Chambers, Earl May, Oscar Pettiford, Richard Davis, Jimmy Garrison, Scotty, Haden among others! I you have any questions about me, feel free to ask them! Best Regards, Andreas Henningsson |

My Grandmother was from Sweden! She used to make a delicious coffee bread for breakfast. We used to call it "kruntz". (spelling?)
Anyway, welcome to Ken's Corner. |

I worked with them on last night's gig using my Pollmann. The band was a bit loud for playing acoustic or with a Mic and a small Polytone Amp. They heard me just fine but I would have liked to hear a little more myself. I don't have the Pollmann Bridge fit for a pickup. We play again tomorrow so I will bring my Bohemian Bass which had my Shadow pickup in the bridge tabs (Underwood copy) and use my own Bass Amp as well. I need more amplified type volume and a tighter sound than Guts with this group. Sorry in advance for the off topic question and reply.. |

This is starting to sound like the 'Down here (NZ)' thread! lol! Last edited by Richard Prowse; 01-02-2009 at 12:14 AM. Reason: God, I hate those little green men and what they do in limiting the powers of the English language to explain itself! |

Hey Richard - I'm glad you haven't forgotten the grits. RE: You're previous question that you discovered the answer to by watching the Beverly Hillbillies. We typically use Quaker brand quick grits a/k/a enriched white hominy. Cooks in about 5 minutes - then you're in heaven.
The answer to the too little clout issue with Ken is perhaps best described with a paraphrase of a statement made by a past President of the USA, and I'm not sure which one, but it would be "Play softly and carry a big amp." Well, if you gots the room - use it. I'm sorry you and the green guy just can't get along. Maybe a hybrid combining him and the yellow guy Enjoy your weekend. I'm working on a partial restoration of an Acoustic Control Corporation 301 folded horn cab from 1973ish that I picked up January 1. It's got the 300 watt RMS Cerwin Vega 18" speaker. A true monster . |
