  • I heard this and had to learn it! I haven't seen many Goodman covers on UA-cam before. I believe this is from the 1937 recording of this song.
    This is the closest I'll get to playing with a swing orchestra in 2020 - so I thought I'd dress appropriately!
    I'm playing my 6 string fretless headless Carillion Single-Cut Prometheus bass, with Bartolini pickups. carillionguita...
    Settings: Passive mode, 75% bridge pickup, single coils.
    Sound is pure and recorded direct with no effects except panning - so Benny and I can duet in your ears!
    I hope you enjoy!

    NGL, that bass looks mad comfortable to play. The angled pickups with a thumb rest and easy high access and a really nice mid focus jazz tone. Sounds great :)

    Good playing, good sound. If you want a hugh challenge tackle Arty Shaws Nightmare ! What are the strings ? I have a Steinberger small body w a 1 of a kind Moses Graphite neck w an Ebony fretless lined fingerboard . Bartolini pickup. Very acoustic sounding. The small body doesn't do the E string justice so I need a set like yours so A can be the low string. I've looked and looked , but never found six string flat wounds. Thanks.

    WOW! I'm late to this party, but this bass cover is rare and outstanding! Question: I started learning bass 3-yrs ago on my own via books, etc. Is it too much to begin learning on a 6-string, since thats what I want to play? I started with 4-string P-Bass and it's a keeper. But as a keyboards player for decades (by ear), I'm drawn to the melody w/ improvisation & I want to learn on a fretless bass. Am I biting-off too much to start with? Thanks & be well. Peace.

    • @ArranMcSporran
      @ArranMcSporran  Місяць тому +1

      I bought my first 6-string on ebay after I'd only been playing for a year, because many of my favourite players used 6ers. I figured I could just sell it on if I didn't get on with it, but it wasn't as hard as I thought and I never looked back 🙂

      @@ArranMcSporran Many thanks my Brother for the response. I keep trying to find a systematic study system to learn 6-string and several teachers I contacted don’t do 6-string. So rather than getting bogged down further, I will buy a decent 6-string and approach it like I did with the keyboard-practice, learn it and most of all enjoy it. Thanks a million! 💯

      @@powerforward1955 Great! I found learning all the notes on the neck and using non-bass exercise books was the best way to approach understanding the whole instrument.

      Thank you! On this it's a combination of raking with some left hand legato. My hand is hopping around for my thumb to keep the strings muted. I recorded a video YEARS ago about it here, if you want to watch it: ua-cam.com/video/4robudUAdMc/v-deo.html
