Craig can certainly play bass, but his knitting is not to be missed.

YOU SHOULD HEAR THE GOOD STUFF. Ask me about it - I'll point you at it with great pleasure.

Do tell.

Start with an album called "The Luxury of Time" by David Mead.

David Mead - World of a King - YouTube

Representative sample on youtoob. Not the best song on the record by a long shot.

Beautiful...fantastic...I love it!!! The pop music world needs far more of this kind of expressive and creative playing.

I remember growing up in the 70s and it seemed normal to have groovy bass lines in popular music. What the hell happened between then and now?!

Thanks Craig! And, Thanks Jack for your perspective and for pointing out the other really good stuff!

 

[Rano Bass]

Very nice line Craig, love those double stops.

I was thinking about it but kept it to myself.

i used bongowood on that one (a custom bigal5sss), thru a markbass/svt into a 15", split with a radial jensen di. bongo wood was passive, all buttons down. played w a pick, using a mb compressore. then muted in the mix so they could get it to sound as much like karaoke as humanly possible.

Sounds exactly like my setup, who'd a thunk it!!!!!!!!!

Other Craig goodies can be found on this here EP thing:

Amazon.com: The Walk Around - Ep: Sean McConnell: MP3 Downloads

HIGHLY recommended. Sean can sing a little, too.

I like the one where Craig exploits the manifold joys of the envelope filter.

 

[drTStingray]

Wow great stuff, Craig. Love the bass parts.

On the Idol chicky one, at the end of the track where the other tracks cut you get a second or two of a slide down on the bass - the growl on that Big Al sounds awesome.

 

[MadMatt]

I finally got a chance to listen to this through a good system. Wow, me likes!

You know, I just cant help it... Craig, I bet you where thinking - "Let the Tour bassist try and figure this one out!", the whole time weren't you?

Great stuff!

that does cross my mind from time to time, heheheheh. but at least they have the fancy mohawk haircuts to distract from their playings. jack rocks the "mullet over".

 

[Big Poppa]

jack rocks the afro mullet

 

[cyoungnashville]

in hindsight, i reckon "rocks" is a strong word.
