Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI Videos

As it is my birthday this week, The Missus allowed me to spend the kids’ inheritance on a new guitar. Here are a couple of videos of me playing the new guitar.

This is the very first few minutes of me trying my new Fender Bass VI for size. I know I don’t need any more guitars, but it is my birthday this week and I just could resist this beautiful instrument.

Stay till the end for a very special guest appearance!

This is me improvising later with the Fender Bass VI into a Digitech Timebender and the Boss RC-300 Loopstation to create a new tune.

You can get the audio file from here:

26-10-06 Development of an Improvisation

I was going through my video archive when I chanced across a number of clips of me working through an improvisation. Normally, when I video myself improvising, the idea is very much of the moment without any real preparation. But back in 2006, here I am working on an idea until I am comfortable with it. OK – it will bore most of you to a slow watery death, but for those who are interested in where and how the music comes from, this is it. This is how I used to do it.

Featuring:

Godin xtSA
Roland VG-88
Roland GR-33
Roland Handsonic HPD15

This is based on the improvisation I posted on 17 October, but this time I augmented it with some bass guitar, some Wavedrum and a sprinkling of fuzzy, heavily-delayed lead guitar.
