Time's a little iffy in spots (not too bad). All in all, good playing my man, keep up the good work.

Oh...and btw; your tone is f@cking massive...WONDERFUL.

What kind of bass?

Never mind...saw your other post. Wow dude...you made out like a bandit with that bass. Just get a better low F# string for it.

Awesome tone!

What's your signal chain on that?

Good job! Sounds strong!

Thanks. The audio signal is going straight from the bass to a Klark Teknik DI, to my M-Audio Delta 66 soundcard. I had the bass EQ on the onboard pre boosted a ways. And then the video is coming from my crummy webcam.

And yeah, my timing and notes were off a bit in places. I just figured out the basic chord progression and structure of the song 5 minutes beforehand, and kinda faked my way through it

.

I ditched the F# string. Right now the bass is strung up BEADG (DR SunBeams), C (the stock string), F (Dean Markley). I love the sunbeam set, but the C and F are both a little higher tension than I would like. I got a real F# string for it as well, but it still didn't sound as good.

I had to go to a 150 to get anything decent out of my F#, and I'm thinking a 155 would have been even better.
