Phill Court Music 

A wonderful day/evening had a the Phil Jones Solo Bass Competiotn & Bass Expo here in Wales! Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who came to wach, take part & work the event. Big shoutout to quite a few of my students, friends from close & afar.

Here is the first of a series of 5 tracks recorded at a live recording session at Northhouse Studios.

Playing through the Coda of my bands track Home. Using the same equipment as I did in the studio. Overwater P5, P Pickup in active mode with a slight treble boost & tone rolled back slightly. Straight into a Noble Bass Pre & into Logic. Strung with La Bella Deep Talking’ Flats Phill. Bass Player, Bandleader, Music Educator. Endorsee of ACS Custom, Aguilar Amplification, La Bella Strings, Overwater Basses & REMIC Microphones. Linktree phillcourtmusi

Taking the low B for a tryout on my Overwater Custom J5 Fretless. Using the MM pickup, EQ flat, tone up & a little compression. Strung with La Bella RX Steels.

On the 5th September this year I'll hopefully be taking part in the Phil Jones Solo Bass Competition being held in Penarth, South Wales (not too far from where I live)

Our next single as Xempa | Mrs Magnificent is out 14/02. Heres a small snippet of the intro/verse. Using the same set up to record as I did in the studio.

One of my favourite guitar solos. I had transcribed & learned this on a nylon string a few weeks and thought it would be beneficial for my development to try to move it over to bass.

A groove over a very common soul chord progression. Playing around with time but keeping it simple.

A quick bit of improv over a nice chord progression I've come up with

Don't get to play slap bass that often! Here's a little groove using my Custom Overwater J5
