Please Come Home for Christmas - Brent Byrne
Far From Christmas (album) - Brent Byrne
I recorded this album as a Christmas present to my family in 2000. In one day! No rehearsal!! We recorded instruments and vocals live in studio in the morning, then soloists came in the afternoon, and at night the keyboardist added strings and such. All without getting paid!! Obviously they were way too kind to me.
It was recorded and later mixed and mastered for CD by Kevin Mitani.
I have remastered it for RUclips.
The musicians are:
Kevin Mitani: drums and percussion
Chizuko Oda: piano, keyboards
Hiroko Shibata: flute
Johnny Nishizaki: tenor sax
Brent Byrne: bass, vocals
Many many thanks to these kind people!
Message to my family:

    This is hands down the best review of pretty much any musical product I’ve ever seen online. And really useful. I’m studying jazz and play a Fender P bass with LaBella Low Tension Flats - wonderful combo. But I recently bought a Fender CB-60 acoustic to play (amplified) folk/rockabilly/country with friends at monthly open mic. It seems like a pretty solid bass (fretted) but I didn’t care for the stock strings. My search landed me here. Your review has convinced me to try the D’s. I liked their low end, and how they seemed to stand out behind a strummed acoustic guitar. A tad less noisy. And I was struck by the chordal demo - to me, every note in the chords came through more on those distinctly than on the LaBellas. Will report back. Thank you.

    • @virwill
      @virwill 2 месяца назад

      Will do, Brent. Question re string tension. I read where some players have restrung an acoustic and eventually run into a bridge lift issue. My bass shipped with 45-100 bronze roundwounds. The tension on the XLs, 50-105, seems slight, but is that enough of an increase for concern?

    • @brentinjapan
      @brentinjapan 2 месяца назад

      @@virwill I never knew about hat bridge problem so I looked it up. It seems like it happens with basses that are not built well enough to withstand the immense pressure of steel strings, or that have a poor bridge and saddle design that pulls up on the bridge. With a Fender or other reputable maker, you won’t have this problem. Plus, the tension of tape wound strings is MUCH less than that of steel strings. A steel 40-100 set will have much more tension than a nylon 50-105 set. This actually causes a different concern. The lack of tension means that nothing is pulling back on the neck, so the truss rod might have to be loosened. Over the years this may result in the truss rod being completely loosened and if it needs further adjustment the neck will have to be reset. I had a Washburn AB20 (review here: ruclips.net/video/9RRgTfCsXaY/видео.htmlsi=g8ySIXTaml7eGBsm) and a similar thing happened: the truss rod was completely loose, but the neck settled there and never needed more adjustment. However, the loose truss rod rattled inside the neck. You can hear it in this recording I did: ruclips.net/video/CrHslUGFcMk/видео.htmlsi=_AAdQd8c1WPMFWyl

    Very nice and informative video, I think the XL's sound better in this particular comparison as the LB's accentuate the boominess more in the low midrange and also seem quite dead in the uppermost high notes whereas the XL's still sing nicely all the way. Am in the process of choosing strings for a fretted Crafter BA400EQ and don't want the phosphor-bronze stuff, also have some bad experience with LaBellas nylonwounds on a former Cort electro-acoustic bass where those sloppy strings rattled and made fretnoices like hell! Some swear over Rotosound 88's or DR Sunbeam 40-100 for acoustic bass purposes although intended for electric bass?! Greetings from Sweden 🙂

    • @brentinjapan
      @brentinjapan 3 месяца назад

      Hey! Thanks for watching! I agree that the LB's are boomy on the lower strings as you go up the neck. I don't find them floppy, but I've been playing them forever so maybe my playing has adjusted? Or maybe my action is higher? I love the tension on the XL's and I did prefer them for this bass in the video so maybe give them a try. I've also seen many Rotosound and DR recommendations. If someone gave me a free set I'd try them but from what I've heard on RUclips, these two strings sound better - to me. Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
