Sign in to disble this ad
So a friend of mine and I have been recording some new music. It is quite a departure for both of us. My friends and family really don't get it. I've been playing for 18 years, and I'm not sure I get it. We're having fun, though. Do you get it?
I used my Warrior Signature 4 Neck-Through direct into the board. No preamp, just straight in.
For those who have responded, I have added some new tunes to the list. For those who are just checking it out, feel free to respond.
These versions were recorded live with bass, drums, and guitar/keys. With guitar/keys added after. There are strings in one song (and in another song that isn't finished yet). These are versions for us to "live with" for a while and see what we want to do differently (if anything) with the songs.
We used 4 different drummers, all on the same set (they all brought their own cymbals), with the same mic placement. It is interesting to hear how different the set sounds with different guys on it.

I had thought of it as having a touch of Medeski, Martin, & Wood (plus Scofield) mixed with some Bad Plus, but not as jazzy. |

I can't tell the guitarist that he drew comparisons to Scofield and Vai. We won't get his head through the door. Actually he is a really humble guy. The kid of guy who, when you tell him his playing sounds awesome, he says, "I was just feeding off of that cool stuff you were playing!" |

The guitarist (arranger/producer/engineer) is a wildly creative and funny guy, and he just ran with it. It started with the first song "Chrysalis". He thought that was a good name to describe the song, and it went from there. |

I think it turned out very nicely. Jay brought in a violin, viola, and cello and put a killer string part at the end. There is also a sax solo on Insecta Trifecta now. |

I have a lot of thoughts on what I heard but basically, if it's not a BASS project per se, I would have played a bit less (or mixed it more in the mix) but that's just me. Excellent playing though. |

Excellent playing though. | I don't know if I'd call it a bass project. Every song was built around the bassline, however. The project started with me sending my buddy some grooves that I had come up with over a couple of months. He emailed back and said "we have enough for an album." So maybe it is a bass project. There are a couple of parts (now that I listen to them) that sound like they are a little busy. I guess it was my youth jumping back on board. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
