Halal Bass Halal by Bass Bandits Indonesia

A few days ago, I attended an event called Halal Bass Halal from the Bass Bandits Indonesia community. This event is a Halal Bihalal after Eid and a meetup for Indonesian bassists after not seeing each other for quite a long time.

The event was also attended by the best Indonesian bassists such as Ahmad Sebastio of Sahara, Yuke Sampurna of Dewa 19, Trisno Pas Band, Dony Prattiwa (Marvells), Rudy Zulkarnaen (Tulus), Ari Firman (The Groove), Alam Caffeine, and many more. 

Welcomed by the chairman of Bass Bandits Indonesia, Ahmad Sebastio, the event continued with bassist performances, started by Syafi from Ansyaf Techno. Followed by other performances by Herta, Alam Caffeine, Ahmad Sebastio, etc. Then, the climax was a jam session by Yuke Sampurna, Ari Firman, and Rudy Zulkarnaen.

This event is also a warm-up for the 10th anniversary of Bass Bandits in July.

Yamaha BB434M bass bridge upgrade

If you guys notice, in my few recent videos, my bass has a slight difference. It's on the bridge. This is because I replaced the standard bass bridge of the Yamaha BB434M with the bridge used for the BB734A. I'm quite satisfied with this upgrade. Different tone a little bit, and cooler look..

[Video] Michelle (Bass Version)

This is bass version of song Michelle from The Beatles. I play this song on bass based on Billy Sheehan version back in the 80s. 
Well, of course I like the original version, because the composition was amazing, with the beautiful lyric. Composed principally by Paul McCartney, with the middle eight co-written with John Lennon. The song is a love ballad with part of its lyrics sung in French. Of course this bass version is only the bass in it. Without other instruments, and no lyrics

[Video] Naked in the Rain RHCP bass cover by Dede SP

I covered the song Red Hot Chili Peppers. Called Naked in the Rain, from their album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. This is actualy not my thing. But I've played it before, long time ago, when I first started playing bass. I tried to remember the song again. At first, I even forgot the title of the song :D Well, it's quite challenging for me who is not familiar with this kind of funky slap bass. I hope you like it

[Video] Killer Tune Tokyo Jihen bass cover by Dede SP

In order to fill my music activities affected by the pandemic, I will make bass cover videos on my YouTube channel more often. I've made several videos. You can check on YouTube. This time I covered a Japanese song from Tokyo Jihen. I'm not a person who often hears songs from Tokyo Jihen, but I quite like this song. Titled Killer Tune, a musical composition is amazing, and a bassline that is quite challenging to play. You can watch below, and don't forget to comment, like, and subscribe
