Forum Topic: Studio 49

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:

Let's Comp - Comping in the 17th century by Ted Wolff

This piece is the 1st movement from Bach's violin sonata # 1. There's lots of opportunity for mallet dampening. The goal is to get it to sound full and resonant, but very clean. As you move from chord to chord use good dampening and/or pedaling to make sure no notes from the previous chord ring into the current chord; making it sound sloppy.

The tempo is really slow, with an 8th note set to about 50 on the metronome. A pdf of the manuscript is included HERE
