Another one for the practice log! Lee Alexander’s upright bass on Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why" is a masterclass in subtlety. The secret to this track isn't the notes you play—it’s the space you leave empty.

Learn to play it! I've posted the official sheet music & Session Notes on getting that vintage, fast-decay upright tone on an electric bass using a foam mute.

Another one for the practice log! Lee Alexander’s upright bass on Norah Jones' "Sunrise" is a masterclass in deep pockets, tasteful passing notes, and driving an acoustic track without rushing.

Learn to play it! I've posted the official sheet music & Session Notes on getting that vintage, fast-decay "thump" on an electric bass using a foam mute.

Lee Alexander’s bass on "Come Away With Me" is a masterclass in space and timing.

My fretless 6-string bass' onboard preamp died and I'm in the repair process for around $200 for the new parts. If anyone wants to put some bread towards that, here's my Ko-fi.

I got an awesome new bass guitar today. 5 string fretless by Warwick.

I'm still VERY much getting used to it, my intonation is pretty shit, but this thing feels and sounds so incredible, especially that super low end.

Here's me fumbling through the Cosmo Canyon theme from the original Final Fantasy VII. It's by no means my best work ever and some stuff I tried didn't quite land. but still had fun grabbing this recording

hopefully I managed to capture the line out from the amp halfway decently
