Bassomatic: daily experimental bass podcast

1,183 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 14 years ago - ★★★ - 16 ratings

It has been more than ten years since the first zand o matic bass guitar podcast, let's try something again but with a few extra comments! Once again the same crappy sound, only and only bass for my part, the same unfinished and unedited grooves as I recorded them on my looper(s), using my old basses, my plethora of effects, and just use some rythm sections I can find here or there. There may be some surprises regarding this podcast in the near future. Yeehaaa! Just another abstract way to loose some time both for you and me! One more thing, this audio file will present three complementary grooves played alone, then the same ones in all combinations with a single drum track.

May 12, 2007 23:00 - 3.52 MB

This is some sort of equipment

May 11, 2007 23:00 - 3.82 MB

Let me pound

May 10, 2007 23:00 - 4.1 MB

Don't turn around even less without pants

May 08, 2007 23:00 - 4.39 MB

This is not an old lady's tale. It is true. This is not a myth because many have tried and many have cried. Don't ever do that while in the dark Chuinghuijtutju forest, don't turn around even less without pants. Oooh yeah.

Solid as rock

Stone rigid. Steel strong. Concrete force. Unlimited resistance. Meet Mentalsunstone, he is solid as rock will never be.

Take a cookie not two

May 06, 2007 23:00 - 4.94 MB

What did I tell you? Again and again you can't stop. Be strong, just don't let your inner self take over. You know it's impolite. Take a cookie, not two. I know they're good.

Tend to be slow

May 05, 2007 23:00 - 7.01 MB

Max is an abbreviation for maximum. His name was Max. The day's ending, the sun's gone down, but still he is running, and running. If you tend to be slow, just don't do it so.

Seldom used but soo obtuse

May 04, 2007 23:00 - 7.6 MB

Funky puppies eating marshmellows

May 03, 2007 23:00 - 6.36 MB

Sam, Minty, Rodge, Bobby are cute little puppies. Once in a while they reunite. They go for a round in town. They like to jump and bark, they like to stroll and make weird faces. Sometimes they just are funky puppies eating marshmellows.

Cut the hairs up in three

May 02, 2007 23:00 - 5.25 MB

Cut them, cut the damn pilosity up, cut the hairs up in three. Or I'll do it. C'mon, don't be a fool, do it, be a man.

Have the kids gone down the block?

May 01, 2007 23:00 - 6.28 MB

Hey mom, did you check them up? I can't figure out where they've gone. Haven't you by any chance figured out if the kids are at the barber's? Or have the kids gone down the block? Naaa.

Hundredthirtytwo plus one minus one

April 30, 2007 23:00 - 7.2 MB

Today I will reach my calculator. I will check it all up. It needs to work fine, no miscalculations will be allowed because the outcome is so important. I will enter digit by digit until I get the answer to the most crucial calculation ever. Hundredthirytwo plus one minus one doesn't give the answer you'd expect.

Excite your bumper

April 29, 2007 23:00 - 7.89 MB

Turn the engine on, roar the pistons, make the wheels scream, let the oil boil and the wind flow over the shield. Excite your bumper, a little not more, and make the run a successful one. You're a champion.

Several times a year is wear

April 28, 2007 23:00 - 3.83 MB

He was suffocating. The hit had been stronger than one could imagine, the airbags did work well, but this was too strong for even the toughest man. He couldn't really breathe, and suddenly he struggled "several times a year is wear..." before stopping, for ever. The mystery was unsolved.

The receipe for the cake is long gone

April 27, 2007 23:00 - 5.62 MB

Hmmm so good. Jenny finished her share of the dessert long ago. She did like it and wished to do the same for her next girlfriends' event. However what she doesn't know, to her future deception, is that the receipe for the cake is long gone.

April 26, 2007 23:00 - 6.79 MB

Some thought fine to joke and leisurely take on their daily activities. Some even giggled, whistled in ease, sang happy little songs. You might be warned: I do not laugh at work, beware.

Carnage at the butcher's

April 25, 2007 23:00 - 3.85 MB

Horrible was the scene. Steaks and sausage fragments all over the place. A few ribs, some liver and a bit of tenderloin could be found still stuck on the wall's red surface. It was a real carnage at the butcher's. And all due to this week-end's planned barbecue party...

Eleven jumps and the nice lady goes

April 24, 2007 23:00 - 5.16 MB

Happy. That's how Jeff felt about his evening ride to the disco. He was feeling frivolous and bounced all over the dance floor. And to his great surprise, eleven jumps and the nice lady goes horny.

The sausage master

April 23, 2007 23:00 - 7.3 MB

In the cage you could feel the chill. The beasts are hardly manageable, and the faintest drop of sweat will just make you a perfect bait. Gladfully, Harold was the sausage master, he was the only one to master them in every occasion.

You could fetch the butter croissant

April 22, 2007 23:00 - 9.83 MB

To be polite you could fetch the butter croissant. But err on the face of all the manners you try to elaborate and your profile will loose all credibility, including the one with the croissant.

The trees salute you

April 21, 2007 23:00 - 4.42 MB

I like to run in the morning. I like to look at the sky. I wish sometimes I where a bird, that I could fly. I am all nuts. And that is when the trees salute you.

Streets of London in bad weather

April 20, 2007 23:00 - 4.12 MB

Nothing beats the beating you can get from the rain, the penetrating coldness of a thick british fog. You may like fish and chips, and all will match nicely together, you like the streets of London in bad weather.

Ole la vache est de retour

April 19, 2007 23:00 - 4.58 MB

This is not an ordinary cow. She did it all, climbed the everest, the k2, had gone to space, ran the marathon, and even survived the feria. She was proud but showed it with a classy subtility. This was Ole, and ole la vache est de retour.

Despite the weather take a hotdog

April 18, 2007 23:00 - 3.4 MB

For weeks it had rained. This was an exceptional time of the year when the elements would go through you, freeze you in a incredible humidity making you feel like if you where swimming in a cold pond. Anita, as only a vengerous spanish rebel could speak was direct: despite the weather take a hotdog.

Tunafish can make an easy pet

April 17, 2007 23:00 - 4.15 MB

She had long ago decided to switch her chihuhaha (who can spell that correctly, hm) for one of those hip new tunafishes from the petgrocery on fifth avenue. Tunafish can make an easy pet, and they are gentle too.

The tulips are growing

April 16, 2007 23:00 - 7.1 MB

This is a great feeling. It has finally happened, and as everytime the sun puts its hand onto the job, thing come true. The tulips are growing, and this is really a great sight.

Take the next elevator on the left just before you get out

April 15, 2007 23:00 - 5.74 MB

You're lost. Let me help you. You know, the path you followed yesterday to get your coffee. Well, just take the next elevator on the left just before you get out. There it will be.

Level it out with envy

April 14, 2007 23:00 - 8.58 MB

Got tired of competing with your workmates. Instead of trying to be better or stronger or whatever, just level it out with envy, it'll make you feel good. Yes, it's true!

Drilling your way through clay

April 13, 2007 23:00 - 5 MB

At a time when all seems important is personal carreer, it is a fact that drilling your way through clay can be rewarding. It will also really impress your secretary.

Will it tell me anything

April 12, 2007 23:00 - 4.19 MB

This is a sponge. I use it to scrub my back, sometimes. It is rather soft, and once soapy makes for a rather comfy and efficient back scrubber. But will it tell me anything if I ask it gently?

Cervelas is not a quiche but a kind of sausage

April 11, 2007 23:00 - 3.5 MB

Quiche looks like a pizza with more stuff on it. Sometimes you can find pizza with sausage on, or respectively quiche with sausage on it. Don't hesitate however to be firm and state that cervelas is not a quiche but a kind of sausage, and that you will likely never find any on a pizza.

Pride in repetitive behaviour

April 10, 2007 23:00 - 5.23 MB

Never mind what others say. I could move my feet back and forth, drag my leg in always the same task, rotate my neck round and round, I will always have pride in repetitive behaviour, and that's how I feel good. Try it.

High heels and a baguette

April 09, 2007 23:00 - 5.11 MB

French and sexy is not a goal so hard to reach for most women living in the hexagonal country. Simply wear your high heels and a baguette, and you'll just look as good as you can get. Just beware that the baguette needs to be held with class as many other possibilities could be thought of but not very polite.

Level it up with mjama

April 08, 2007 23:00 - 2.3 MB

Common man, you know you where a bit harsh on him regarding the affair. Still you should have made things clear. You should definitely level it up with mjama. But stay cool.

Crunch the herd

April 07, 2007 23:00 - 3.32 MB

To gain a substantial amount of space you have a few practical options. First, you can reduce the size of your herd. Take a few out and you'll get something lighter for your out in the prairie rundowns. Otherwise there is the always fun to do, crunch the herd method. A little sadistic, but so, oh so efficient and humorous.

Rap the carrots

April 06, 2007 23:00 - 4.13 MB

In no other langage than French can new musical trends be of such an arrogance to rabbits. For example if you say rap the carrots to a French rabbit, he will show you what it means to mess around with his pride.

Take the third door after the elevator

April 05, 2007 23:00 - 3.32 MB

I knew you wanted to go and visit Alphonso the royal oak alligator. He works at the top of the Stanley Humby liver building. Just take the third door after the elevator, there he'll be.

Porcupine dreams of sweet pumpkin

April 04, 2007 23:00 - 4.08 MB

Working on the field for an impressive twenty years, doc Smithymomokaskoviak has been able to dig deep into the porcupine's unconscious mechanism. Using his models and behavioural tools to go beyond our common knowledge, he was able to state for sure that the porcupine dreams od sweet pumpkin. No less.

Airplanes to go where ever you want

April 03, 2007 23:00 - 3.78 MB

This is really a neat feature. She was impressed. Nowhere else did she found such an attractive offer. For long had she been unsatisfied with her week end club life, but know she had learnt that in Zeberzuviskovinskevia there where airplanes to go where ever you want, and for less too.

Latin rabbit

April 02, 2007 23:00 - 4.2 MB

Need say more. He's a latin rabbit. There is however an spelling problem. Does rabbit take one or two b's? Hmm.

Sixteen times around town

April 01, 2007 23:00 - 5.79 MB

This is a small town. But hey, sixteen times around town isn't nothing. If you calculate the total length of one, it comes to approximatively 15 kilometers, so wow, just multiply this by sixteen and think how boring this must have been for them.

Drums are a plenty

March 31, 2007 23:00 - 3.65 MB

In a symphonic orchestra you will rarely find anything like it. You can expect some mean grouping of violins and other stringies, but rarely a complete set of modern drums, double pedal and all. While this holds true for a chamber orchestra too, in a funk band drums are a plenty.

Road to yellow tank brigade

March 30, 2007 23:00 - 2.92 MB

First on the left, 12 miles north, 100 yards on the left, follow the dotted red line, up the mountains, down on the other side for about 7.3 miles, turn after the big dead tree (there is only one), look for an old rusty tractor abandoned on the right side, this is the road to yellow tank brigade.
