11-String Bassist Jean Baudin Releases Third Solo Album, “2600”
Extended range bassist Jean Baudin has released his third solo bass album, entitled 2600. The bassist recorded the entire 27-track album using only his 11-string Kenneth Lawrence bass and a pedalboard.
“Having recorded my previous two solo ‘bass’ albums with a strict set of boundaries (no overdubs or edits), I wanted to try something different for my third album,” Baudin writes. “I’ve always been fascinated with effect pedals; especially those that completely changed the way my instrument sounded. For this album, I thought I’d have fun and experiment. Armed with only my 11-string bass and a massive pedalboard, I’ve attempted to make a bass/guitar solo album that sounds nothing like a bass or a guitar (most of the time). The end result, I feel, falls somewhere between a sci-fi movie score and an 8-bit video game soundtrack. I hope you dig it as much as I enjoyed making it.”
2600 is available now as a digital download through Bandcamp.
