Vulfpeck: It Gets Funkier

by Corey Brown | Monday, February 6th, 2012

We first featured Vulfpeck last June and became instant fans of the band and bassist Joe Dart.

Check out this video of the band recording their score for a short film by Baltasar Vilhjálmsdóttir entitled, “Cold Cold Wet”. Joe really gets down on this, especially around the 3 minute mark.

This tune is available on Vulfpeck’s EP, Mit Peck.

Hey Vulfpeck, if it does indeed get funkier, drop us a note!

Definitely Weather Report inspired with a beautiful Jaco-esque tone… how is he getting that sound from what looks like a fretted Bass (fret markings look too wide to be a ‘lined’ fretless)? Anyone got any good tips on how to get that tone?

It’s all about the bridge pickup and midrange. That’s also how you get harmonics to pop.

Try going all bridge pickup, then on your eq boost mids and drop out the highs and lows. I learned that from Pat Metheny who I think was influenced by Jaco’s tone.
