WWYS (bass only)

Unread post by xero » Sun Sep 28, 2003 11:43 pm

So here I am...bored...nothing to do. Decided to pick up the bass and record something, heh. It's only WWYS...nothing impressive at all, but I figure someone might be crazy enough to want to hear it. :)

It was recorded on my Yamaha BB404. Gotta love natural finish on a bass...so true. :) Oh, and don't use any EQ setting w/ low end boost, cause then it'll sound pretty distorted.

Neat, but it sorta answers the question on why there aren't alot of solo bass acts. :D

Sucks that we get so little respect when we're so important...*sigh*. Whatever, least I'm not some flash-in-the-pan guitarist who thinks a solo is 2 notes buried under a wah... ;) Hate that so much when guitarists think they're so good yet can't play for crap. But I still haven't found a clueless bassist...

Yeah, def didn't add any fills. Was more an experiement on recording levels and such. Plus, I haven't been playing THAT long anyways... ;)

I am better than what's posted...the problem is trying to get a decent recording of such. ;)

I thought it sounded really solid. Actually was a lot of fun to listen to. The recording sounded awesome. Good levels/EQ and nice and clean. I just started fooling around with bass and this makes it clear I have a lot to learn. Is this done with a pick or fingers?

What's a pick? ;)

Heh, I use my fingers only. I never felt comfortable w/ a pick, and since my hands sweat a ton, it tends to slide away from me when I do use it. If I need to play a chord, I usually swipe it with my index finger's nail.

Thanks for the input everyone. Maybe my next recording will be an original, hehe. :)
