The Ballad of Little Girl Dancer
This is a little extra transcription for a bit of fun. I’m trying to improve my fretless playing this year. I’ll be putting more of these up as the year goes on, mainly jazz tunes with written fretless bass lines. Expect Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius, Christian McBride etc
I recorded this on my home constructed fretless bass with Seymour Duncan Steve Bailey pickups and Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds. I added compression with my Diamond Bass Comp and a bit of reverb with my Mooer Shimverb. I DI’d out of my Tech 21 VT BASS DI with a mid boost and a general SVT sound. I added more compression in Logoc using the studio FET setting with the ratio at around 3:1.
Thanks for reading. If you like the song, make your own video and tag me on social media, @jproudbass on twitter and instagram.
Till next week.
