Soul
[deep real feeling, natrual]
So you want me to show my soul...
Okey, I´m the man behind the - groovyjr. I popped out
18.09.1970 in Malmo, Sweden (yes, that´s the same day
Jimi Hendrix died).
I got the nickname groovy for
my ability to groove during studies at Australian
Institute of Music - Sydney, Australia 93/94, j&r
is my initials and stands for joakim rosén.
A lot has happened seens then,
some good and some bad.
Nowadays I´m working
as a professional webdesigner at reklamkompaniet
in Helsingborg, Sweden. During my time off I play as much
bass I can and I´m really into groovy music like soul/funk.
That´s
all you need to know about me...
Groovy
[fantastic, wonderful]
That´s what I like to
say about my bassgear - (okey! my girlfriend would fit in
here as well, but I prefer to call her foxy).
My main thing is the Sadowsky
24 fret 5 #1701 with EMG pick-up´s, which I had since
93. This baby really growls, it must be one of the first Sadowsky
5´s in Europe & one of the first ever made.
I also got a Jackson JZB1 -
a 4 stringed jazzbass copy with EMG pick-up´s and maybe
soon a Sadowsky pre-amp as well.
For amp I go real swedish viking
style with an EBS fafner 600 W tube head, one EBS 2x10"
+ horn
& for some more bottom I got an EBS 1x15" - this
shit really moves some serious amount of air.
For FX I use EBS Bass IQ (envelope
filter),
EBS Unichorus, EBS Multicomp & EBS OctaBass.
I also got a Ernie Ball volympedal, a Korg BT2 basstuner &
a Yamaha QY20 for practise.
Funk
[stinky, smell, fuck up your
exam]
Here you find a few music-clips
of what I´ve been up to during my career as a musician,
just so you can smell it.
To hear this clips you´ll
need RealPlayer and you can get it here: realplayer
Jazz [brag, swaggering, show
off]
I´ve
played with at least a 100 of bands live all from pentarej
band to klubb yoghurt and flashback...
For now I play in a showband called
H.O.F (House Of Fun).
As a webdesigner I´ve done a
few thing as well, a few of the jobs I´ve done is listed
below.
