What are you guys working on?

I'm doing a recital in October before I head off to do my Masters. It will feature the Proto "Carmen Fantasy", and a great modern Jewish piece by Paul Ben-Haim "Songs without words", as well as Bottesini's F# Concerto.

Why you joined Ken's Corner..Setup information

Has the corrected set-up of your Bass since joining the Forum helped you in any way to prepare for this recital?

Will it be recorded in any way? Something you can post here for us to watch and/or listen to?

Either way, best of luck with it.

Yes, the information I have gained has helped me select the correct strings for my instrument and the correct height of the strings/bridge. It makes playing this music a lot easier.

There will be a recording for sure, and I will post it. The recital is in October.

Thanks

In double bass world, I have an outdoor gig tomorrow (western swing), another on the 4th of July (doing a Hank Williams tribute show) and a run of shows in July playing the same show. And I'm producing (and playing on) a swing record that we hope to finish in July.

In electric bass world, I've many hours of rehearsal ahead of me to do an LA show on August 1, playing a new version of the classic Genesis album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" http://www.calprog.com/rewiring_genesis_live.htm

I'm grateful to have work.

I am working on an old band saw I found buried in a barn. (above photo)




Here it is back home, all in parts.

This saw will be used to cut the ribs on bass #2.

Craig, that looks like a pretty nice find! Can you find/fabricate any parts you need?
