Time Out : On The Up - November - #2
Moving on from the first band previously, we now take a look at The Bassment Syndicate - a three piece band made up of two bassists and a drummer. Now, if you're a lover of music, you'd probably know that the bass is an important instrument in a band, which without it, would only make the music 'empty'.
And when it comes to the bass guitar, I've had the opportunity of learning to play it sometime ago thanks to some wonderful souls that are always around to teach me a thing or two.
Finger food had a whole new meaning to it.
Of course I'm no Jaco or John (Myung), but all of us need to start somewhere right? Well, you could start playing the last four strings on your guitar by putting it into 'bass mode' and ignoring the first two strings (I started on a Kapok like that) - while accompanying whatever chord that is being played in the song - very basic, no groove - no soul to it.
But that's another story for another time. Right now, I present to you - with all their techniques, skills and groovilicious hooks and part of Timeout KL : On The Up - Mr. Fook and his bass agents. Enjoy the video!

Can't get enough of them? Youtube some of the following people that I like who plays some kick-ass bass below, but you gotta guess their names first.

Up next - Alaling & The Kaya Koks! Don't go away!
