Adventurous Funky Bass Grooves

Funky good times with some fun melodic grooves, staccato lobster claw plucking, double stops, harmonics, neck bends and more! I’m playing my Cortex bass strung up with Ernie Ball Super Slinkys, and used a Seamoon FX ‘Funk Machine’ pedal for the envelope sounds, as well as a Boss OC-2 octaver, Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor and a Rodenberg 707B clean booster. Pickups are Nordstrand Dual Coils. All sounds come real-time from the bass, amp and pedals, no digital post processing, plugins or editing, what you see is what you get! The signal was recorded with the DI of my Eich T-1000 amp into a Focusrite Scarlett into Cubase, drums were made with Addictive Drums and Korg percussion pads, mastering was done with Ozone. I really had a blast writing this piece and shooting the video, took me weeks to nail this in one take, hope you'll enjoy!

If you’re looking to support me or just love funky music and want to own a unique piece of art and vinyl single, this is the best way to contribute to the artists involved, direct sales. We release this independently and your purchase goes directly to us, I notice every sale. We’ve invested a lot to make this happen, with your support we’ll be able to continue recording and releasing more funky music like this on vinyl.
Cheers to those who made it reading this far, you’ve found the halloween easter egg:
I’m giving away 30 min skype bass lessons to the first 10 Remco’s Groove Lab subscribers that buy the vinyl, starting from today, October 25th. All you have to do is pre-order TRILL SEEKERS/BANANAS before November 1st 2023, and email me at [e-mail] with proof of purchase and your name. We’ll connect and plan the skype session once you’ve received the vinyl by mail.
Thanks for watching and reading, let’s keep the funk alive!

[@commando1912]

just amazin

[@Caseyjones420]

I love your technique! Very talented! If you locked some of those lead grooves in the pocket during your jam; itd make a full circle 🔵 and id jam this through head phones all day long lol I love finding that "hook" or that "UGH!" bass line when I'm jamming. It makes it almost conversational and it definitely keeps me locked in the groove also. I find it easy to get lost in groove alot of times, but "the HOOK, brings you back!" Lol KILLER JAM MY MAN!❤

[@barnabyjones5161]

Nice.
