“Growl” is a fully improvised piece that was inspired by the neck pickup of my trusty Peavey Cirrus. The tone of the bass’s neck pickup is traditionally described as “growly” (think P-bass), so it was easy to go there with the title.

Interestingly, though I rolled the pickup blend all the way to the neck pickup, I ended up playing with my right hand over the bridge pickup for part of the piece, probably to add a little bit of clarity to the growl (I say probably because I did it unconsciously!).

Thank you for listening!
