It has to be able to take the abuse of a 40 show tour and have the same quality of sound at the last show, as it did on your first. www.kingdoublebass.com It’s an old maxim: If you want it done right, do it yourself. SPECIALIZING IN BUILDING CUSTOM UPRIGHT BASSES “When I was touring with an upright bass, I could not keep it together and when I got it to stay together I could not get it loud enough to be heard over the rest of the band. So I decided to make my own,” says Jason Burns of the modest beginnings of what has become one of the hottest companies specializing in building custom upright basses. While touring over the years, Burns developed and refined the product line, which has catapulted his company to the top of the industry. “I gathered input from players like Lee Rocker and Jimbo Wallace, they have been playing on the road and in studios long enough to have a really good idea of what needs to go into the design and crafting of professional quality instruments.” It’s not enough for your instrument to look and sound great, it has to hold up.

"It's a tribute in a lot of ways," Rocker (nee Leon Drucker) tells Billboard. "It's a song I wrote over the last couple of months. I was thinking about my career with 40 years of Stray Cats and all of that and thinking about the upright bass, which is what started this thing. It takes me back to the opening line of the song -- which is "Took me 'round the world and I changed my name/found a little fortune, found a little fame/Doin' the dog house shuffle" -- which is right out of my story. Dog House is what they call the upright bass, so it's a tribute to the bass itself and a lot of the players that I came up listening to." Some of those players -- including Elvis Presley's Bill Black, Willie Dixon, Fred Maddox, the Tennessee Three's Marshall Grant, Carl Perkins' brother Clayton and Al Rex of Bill Haley & His Comets -- are featured in the "Dog House Shuffle" video, along with cartoon animations and studio footage of Rocker and his band recording the track.

  • This Week the Beatles Anthology, Coming Soon to a TV Set Near You, Is Unlikely to Unleash a New Wave of Beatlemania
    E IN RADIO OCTOBER 2 This Week The Beatles Anthology, coming soon to a TV set near you, is unlikely to unleash a new wave of Beatlemania. But for :hose of us old and lucky enough to have been caught up in that British Invasion of '64, it'll be a nice revisit to those times, espec ally with Capitol's release of the first two of six CDs of Beatles rari- ties. For those who missed out on the Beatles in their prime, this is their best shot at the full story. And for the companies involved in the production- Apple Corps, Inc., ABC-TV, and Capitol/EMI-it's a big -backs bonanza. They are taking no chances, how- ever. As we report inside, the total cost of the market- ing of Anthology will be around $20 million. Our package, put together by our managing editor, Ben Fong -Torres, gives you a head start on all the hype, and includes revisits with Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Yoko Ono; with Top 40 at the height of the craziness, and with Dave Rothstein, a Gavin staffer who's not ashamed that, at 40 -something, he's still a Beatlemaniac. In News, Danny Goldberg (top) takes the helm at Mercury Records. Pearl Jam tops a poll of music executives; Entertairment Weekly offers its own power poll, and music loses Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon (mid- dle).

  • Stray Cats – 03
    STRAY CATS – 03. Juli 2019 – Berlin, Columbiahalle – Support: MESSER CHUPS – Text: Holger Ott Eine der wenigen Bands, die noch nicht auf meiner Wunschliste abgehakt ist, gastiert zum 40. Bühnenjubiläum in der Hauptstadt und ich möchte unbedingt bei diesem Ereignis dabei sein. Ja, die STRAY CATS, Mitbegründer des Neo-Rockabilly, haben auch schon einige Jahre auf dem Buckel, sind noch immer mächtig aktiv und locken so enorm viele Fans in die Halle, dass diese zum Bersten gefüllt ist. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten, tummeln sich vor Einlass viele Damen in ausladenden Pettycoats und Herren mit streng angelegter Schmalztolle vor dem Eingang. Es wird ein Fest, geht es mir durch den Kopf, mit sicherlich vielen Tanzeinlagen im Publikum. Ich schaffe es bin in die erste Reihe und bekomme somit nichts davon mit, wie voll und eng es im Saal wird. Also nichts mit Tanzeinlagen, es bleibt aus Platzgründen bei leichten Bewegungen in der Heringsdose. Kurzfristig wurden leider die Fotogenehmigungen gecancelt, somit muss der geschätzte Leser auf coole Bilder verzichten. Sehens- und hörenswert ist das Vorprogramm. Die MESSER CHUPS aus St. Petersburg in Russland geben Musik zum Besten, die natürlich aus den 50ern stammt, so klingt aber mit einer besonderen Note versehen ist. Heute Abend lautet das Thema: wer schafft in kürzester Zeit die meisten Songs. Die MESSER CHUPS dreschen in ihren gewährten dreißig Minuten gefühlte dreißig davon herunter. Wie viele es wirklich sind, habe ich nicht gezählt. Schaffen kann man das, in dem die Ansagen durch Drummer ROCKIN' EUGENE in Geräusche umgewandelt werden. Neben Stöhnen, jaulen und grunzen bringt er auch tatsächlich einige Textwörter im Background zustande.

  • An Investigation of the Electric Bass Guitar in Twentieth Century Popular Music and Jazz
    An investigation of the electric bass guitar in Twentieth Century popular music and jazz. A thesis presented by David Stratton in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree, Master of Arts (Honours). School of Contemporary Arts College of Arts, Education, and Social Sciences University of Western Sydney April 2005 i Abstract The acoustic bass played mostly an accompanying role in popular music during the first half of the Twentieth Century, whereas the arrival of the electric bass guitar in the early 1950s presented new opportunities for acoustic bassists and musicians, composers, producers, engineers, the recording industry and the listening public. The distinctive sound of the electric bass guitar encouraged musicians to explore new timbres. The musicians who embraced the electric bass guitar developed its language, discovering and employing different techniques. The instrument became a catalyst for change and took on a more prominent role, forever changing the sonic landscape of popular music and jazz in the Twentieth Century. ii Acknowledgements I am indebted to the following people for their assistance during the period of my candidature: For technical support I thank Karl Lindbom, Paul Tilley, Clive Lendich, Benjamin Huie, Gary Fredericks and Brendan Read. The musicians who performed with me - Michael Bartolomei, Graham Jesse, Andrew Gander, Craig Naughton, Gordon Rytmeister, Nicholas McBride, Paul Panichi and Matthew Doyle. Kerrie Lester and Nikki Mortimer for granting permission to reproduce the paintings and etching. The musicians with whom I discussed my project, including Herbie Flowers, Carol Kaye, Max Bennett, Steve Hunter, Cameron Undy, Bruce Cale and Sandy Evans who have willingly encouraged me to quote.
