Ron Knobler - In Walked Bud (Thelonious Monk) - Solo Bass Cover

Written/Recorded by: Thelonious Monk
Arranged for Solo Bass by: Ron Knobler
I absolutely love Thelonious Monk's composing and piano playing style -- he has a unique sense of harmony and rhythm which makes his songs and playing sound very unique. "In Walked Bud" is one of my favorite Monk songs. I am using two handed tapping to play both the piano melody and bass parts simultaneously. For my solo between the two head sections, I combine some of my favorite Monk piano licks with my own improvised lines, and added a tapped arpeggio section too. I hope you enjoy my arrangement!
For this solo bass cover I’m playing the WHOLE song on bass - the piano parts, horn melody, and bass parts are all played on bass simultaneously. No overdubs, looping, or backing tracks.
Gear used for this recording: Fodera Monarch bass, Harley Benton Block 800B-MKII bass amp (DI out), Behringer U-Phoria UM2 digital interface.

Fodera and Hartke rig? Someone’s a Wooten fan 😉.

You got me, LOL. Gear that sounds and plays great -- can't ask for anything more. I've been playing Hartke stuff since the 1990s, Fodera since 2011 thanks to VW.
