Happy Birthday Pino Palladino | Louie Bag | Yebba
Happy Birthday Pen-blwydd hapus from one Welsh bass player to THE Welsh bass player! Playing a great line by Pino on the Live At Electric Lady version of Louie Bag | Yebba. Using my Overwater Custom P5, P pickup, in passive mode with the tone rolled off considerably. Into my Cali 76 and into Logic using a B15 emulation. Lucky enough to have played in the same room as the original back in 2023/24? Bass is strung with La Bella Deep Talkin’ flatwound strings. Phill. Bass Player,

Act Like You Know
I did a sample on this bass for one of my closest best friends Chazz. Originally this OLP was his and we traded around it for a while & he wanted to hear how it sounded today. I went a little bit OTT with this demo haha! Vice City anyone? OLP Stingray V, passive straight into Logic with some compression.

La Bella Artist Support Appreciation
Always grateful for the support from La Bella Strings as an artist. Honestly the best strings for all situations. Be it some flatwounds or tapewounds when working with a country artist, crystal clear round wounds for some live pop sessions or the super polished when playing live with Xempa
