I’ve discovered felt plectrums recently and am loving how they sound… still have the punch of a regular plastic pick but with a little less click in the top end. I think they sound great with my old Hofner. I love this bass, it’s such a joy to play.
For anyone who’s interested, I’m using @pyramid_strings_official flat wound strings with the red felt plectrum made by ‘Viking’. It’s one of the more firm felt picks out of the handful I bought. I’m running through the @origineffects Bass Rig Super Vintage pedal with minimal processing in logic.
As always, use headphones. Loads of low end from this bass and phone speakers don’t cut it!
Bonus points if you recognise the song.

My attempt at Jamerson’s killer solo on ‘Mutiny’ by Jr. Walker & The All Stars from ‘66. It’s a tricky one!

#repost @wiffeney It’s me, @chrisaxe3@montywill and @jaisus with a live and animated rendition of ‘Busy’, one of the six singles on the Wiffeney EP! The official single and full music video releases are still to come, as you can tell from my in progress animation videos still being very much in progress. We added a large amount of animated rabbit just in time for Easter Monday, is it too much rabbit or not enough? 🐇💖
Was lucky enough to spend last week at Giant Wafer Studios working on the @alesundmusic debut album. Played a lot of bass, ate a lot of cheese, had a lot of fun.
Lots of love to the gang @albatorriset@montywill@jamesgrahampiano@mikecoopermusic and special thanks to @jackbostonsound for being a legend as per usual.
