Hi vibes people, i wanted to share some music from a great bass player from the south of Chile (Concepción), I had the chance to be on his debut album, and for the session there was a lovely uniform bar Studio 49 (i presume from the mid nineties or maybe older). I've had a bit of experience with several Studio 49s before at school, yet they were very old and really beaten up. They have the best pedal ever, and the craftsmanship is, well... german. Just though i'd chime in with what matters most, the sound, so here it is:

i listned to all tracks and enjoyed them all. that´s so cool on the site you hear so many vibes players and get input you never would hear without. the whole band plays cool stuff.

my first vibe is a studio 49 with graduated bars and it sounds really different compared to the musser. to me it´s more bright, less dark and i think it´s louder. the musser sounds more warm and deeper. to set it up it´s really easy cause the bars are attached to metal frame so you don´t need to dissamble them. the pedal is cool although mine makes some noise over the years.

are you from chile? i was there once and loved the country although i had no time to take a look into the jazz scene there.

thanks for sharing!
