That Bassist was slamming. The Ken Smith brand has been around for a while and they have a fantastic sound. Many years ago, in fact it was Oct 10th, 1979, I bought my upright Bass directly from the man, Ken Smith himself in NYC when I was in college and I was studyiing with Bill Blossom of the NY Philharmonic. Ken lived in the Union Square part of Manhattan. He took me out for a bite, we talked Bass, then we went to his apartment. He had many Basses and I bought a converted 5 string Juzek Bass for $1600 dollars. I still have it and it has played in very well even though it still has a little bit of a "wolf tone" on the A string. I also still have the receipt from the purchase! I named it "Claude" many years ago. Keep playing out there my Bass brothers. Best to all.
Oh what a find!!!! Awesome tight band!!! Great voise but for me, that bass, ahhhh! Only wish I could play half that good. Thanks for sharing guys Paul 18.20 gmt Uk cheers
This it TIGHT! Love the performance. You guys are great. I would love to have a copy of the recording if available. Reminds me of my open mic sessions in New York. Got my Warwick 6, just my KS is left to add to the collection. Keep grooving guys!
thx Louis, unfortunately there is no recording of that session, just the video, if you live in NYC i highly recommend a show you might not have seen already, it’s a project of my best friend and soul brother Misha Piatigorsky (which you can see in all videos of „Sketchy Black Dog“ here on my channel, check out the club version of „Roxanne“…), it’s called „ Daddy Rabbit Show „, a party with soul music you‘ll never forget…., btw he is also on the video with the brasilian jazz trio, also announced as Ken Smith bass solo
@@klinkepeter Hey Pete, I find myself listen to this song daily. My KS Black Tiger Elite is finally on its way with much sacrifice. I 'll be working on your runs in this song it is awesome.
Peter, your technique coming through on that Ken Smith Bass is amazing-Wow! Do you remember what strings are on that bass? Hope to see/hear more of your bass solos on your Smith. Peace.
Thanks for your kind words…, at this time I was using D‘Addario strings usually starting with 35 or 40 on the g string, I don’t like fat strings at all because it limits me in terms of phrasing, meanwhile i‘m using Warwick strings also starting with 40 on g, they keep the sound pretty long, Peace
@@Chasjazzez Hey, i‘m mostly using La Bella SS40B strings , also D‘Addario but always beginning with 40 on the g string, no pedals, amp is Ampeg Rocket B100 R from the 90th‘s, i‘m trying to keep it as simple as possible, thanks for your feedback
Hey Fernando, greetings from Germany, there’s another video on my channel with some brasilian music, also under the name „Ken Smith bass solo“, enjoy it ❤
a session band from Berlin, the drummer and pianist are playing with Till Brönner, a very famous trumpet player, the singer is living in Cologne and i‘m an electric and upright bassplayer from Berlin too, these gigs are basically done without rehearsals, everyone has to know his part and the rest is interaction on stage, by the way David Haynes, the drummer is the worldwide most famous finger drumming player, using drum pads as a drumset, there’s another video in my channel from the same evening with a female singer from Poland, at the end he is doing a solo with the pad
What a super tight funky band, but I just don't like the singers tone I've worked with so many singers and I put him in the category of really good session man... this band need a more gritty natural almost gravely voice...dirty that's the word I'm looking for....

That bass line and tone fits the song like a glove.
dude yeah, that ken smith is a brutal bass, love it, sounds SO good.
Fun fact - I grew up (literally) right around the corner from where these basses are made. You could see the place from our porch.

this video really makes me wanna buy a ken smith. the thing is that i can't play like this even if i have one...
Peter, your technique coming through on that Ken Smith Bass is amazing-Wow! Do you remember what strings are on that bass? Hope to see/hear more of your bass solos on your Smith. Peace.
Thanks for your kind words…, at this time I was using D‘Addario strings usually starting with 35 or 40 on the g string, I don’t like fat strings at all because it limits me in terms of phrasing, meanwhile i‘m using Warwick strings also starting with 40 on g, they keep the sound pretty long, Peace
@@klinkepeter Thanks for the info. Be well.
Man, that's the best bass tone ever! How do I get that sound?! What settings are you using on the bass? Any pedals? What amp? Great stuff.
Just buy Kensmith bass it’s the tone
That you want
nothing special, my Ken Smith BT 5 going through an Ampeg Rocket B-100 from the 90th‘s, that’s the thing i‘m parking my butt on ….
So agree these guys are top of there game.. quality engine room and the keys are the steerage
Cool solo and nice Smith tone, what strings are setup on that bass and what gauge?
@@Chasjazzez Hey, i‘m mostly using La Bella SS40B strings , also D‘Addario but always beginning with 40 on the g string, no pedals, amp is Ampeg Rocket B100 R from the 90th‘s, i‘m trying to keep it as simple as possible, thanks for your feedback
Can i get the lyrics please, very nice song !!
Sick.
Cómo tienes la ecualización del bass
no rqualizer…, just the bass into the amp, Ampeg Rocket. B100 from 1997
Very nice, Does anybody know what's going on with that run starting at 5:24? I can't slow it down enough!
if you want a audio version, send me your mailaccount
@@klinkepeter Hey thanks for the reply! I'm an intermediate player and was just trying to figure out that chromatic like run you were doing there.
@@Matthew-ym2bb that’s just every step 2 quarter notes, one finger on one position easy to play…
I didn't knew that actor Dennis Hopper played bass...😂😂( and well 👍😉)
that just came a little unexpected…😂
@@klinkepeter 😊👍👍🎶
so funky:) name of the band and song please , super
the band is called “David Haynes and friends” and the song “ Boogie Child” written by the singer Worthy Davis who you can see in the video
whats the name of this song? so good
Boogie Child
Crazy guys.. all of them... AMAZING.... @_@bbbbbb
and...
PLZ give the drummer a little more space... his elbow might touch the bookshelves..
Hello! What is Your bass EQ here?
no external EQ, just the Ken Smith Bt5 going through an Ampeg Rocket B-100 from the 90th‘s
TONE.
Cuál es el modelos del bajo?
Ken Smith BT5 from 1989
Looks like a bt classic 87-89
