Those tracks are killer -- but they're not songs. They're riffs. I was talking about songs with melodies, chord changes, and arrangements, and lyrics and hooks. Until you have that, you'll never get to the next level -- and I mean the level of getting signed and selling millions of records and doing interviews in Bass Player magazine.
Hey, I did a track on my CD that was based totally on the bass part -- but that only goes so far.

There are a lot of guys who have skill, and then there's MARKETABLE skill. You, my friend, have sick skills. And it would be a shame for it to just remain another curiosity on you tube.
Check this out -- some fat kid in his bedroom. A stone cold motherf*cker.

If you're not a writer, find guys who are who dig your thing. I think your approach to a punk pop format would be amazing. Yeah, it's Flea-like. But it's Flea on steroids. And maybe it's time for the next slap virtuoso.
Best of luck bro.
