Hi everyone, after concentrating more on my bass playing lately, I grabbed my stick again. On request from my girlfriend, I did a cover song: Only You - Flying Pickets. Hope you like it.

Re: Flying Pickets - Only You
Vey nice. Your 6 strings bass is a beauty. I thought it was another Only You (The Platters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FygIKsnkCw). This song is also really beautiful. I had a project in the '80s about writing a big band arrangement and finally I never did it...
Thanks a lot, Jay and Alain!! Yes, I'm very happy with this bass. It's a Marleaux Consat bass, special build for me. I visited Gerald Marleaux at his workshop in Germany to choose the woods for the bass and found that fantastic top! It's Tuned E A D G C F ( from low to high). The same as the bass side of my stick.

That was really nice. The playing was solid and the video editing was interesting, especially with the different colored shirts.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Mike! I had a lot of fun making that video. I sell T-Shirts with my logo on my website and got 5 new colors from the shop a few days before. So I gave "every player" a different T-Shirt.

Great stuff, Andre! I enjoyed your playing and your songwriting, and especially some close-up views of some of your beautiful basses. And the Stick, of course! Thanks so much for sharing!
