In Alan's studio.
A young bassist, an ex-pat Yank called Ryan Michael, is in putting down some tracks on which I've played guitar. He is one fantastic player. His band are called Carmelite. He plays a Warwick 'thumb' six string bass Low B to high C.

Really impressed, actually. Bloody clever and musically very gifted and a nice bloke to boot.

Alas, young ladies, I believe he's taken: else he's the sort of chap I'd introduce to a sister or daughter.

Will try to get out of here for 5-5.30 to meet Milady. I'm rather looking forward to this weekend....well I would say that wouldn't I.

*sighs* I want a standup six-string.

http://www.myspace.com/officialcarmelite is the band's MySpace.

Good bass work, and the extra range really adds a sweet flavor to the tapestry.

I checked out their page....His bass playing is good and functional on the tracks, but he really is very good, which the restrictions of Carmelite's songwriting don't necessarily showcase.
Nice lad, studying philosophy at Warwick.

Which is not to say I don't like Carmelite's songwriting.
