Hey TB'ers,
This is my first post on TB, so please be gentle ;-) I was 16 when I started playing guitar (now I'm 29). I've played in some bands, nothing special, did a few shows. Approximately a year ago I started in a band as a singer, but they also didn't have a bass player yet. So I filled the spot. I haven't regretted since, it's like I really found the right instrument for me. And I think it's kinda cool to be bassist/singer, you don't see that alot. Anyway, since I've only been playing bass for a year, I'm looking to improve any way I can. Could you guys check out some of our songs on http://limbolink.hbvl.be/convoy and suggest improvements on my bass playing or share your thoughts for the music in general?

I only listened to the first song. For some reason it reminded me of spinal tap.

Ik ben van Dilsen. 
Not bad at all your band.
I really like the singing. Kinda like James Hetfield. Well it reminds me of that.
Your bass playing is very good, nothing bad to say about. But in my honest opinion the sound engineering is a bit off.
It's lacking some punch.
But that is nittypicking.
Awesome stuff.  |
