Thank you very much!!
yeah, recording our last ep songs (2 of them are the first two on the myspace page) we were really lucky... our keyboard player works at one of the finest recording studios in buenos aires, and his boss let us go into the studio for free... he recorded everything himself and then he had some help with the final mix by a pro, a friend of his. Due to the fact that we were recording whenever the studio was available, it took quite a while to finish, but it turned out great we think.
I am happy with the basslines, i'm not too flashy but i think it does work for the songs.
Still, i'm always wondering what would have anybody else come up with when they first hear the chords being played by the guitar, whenever they start rehearsing the songs. the songs would basically remain the same i suppose, but i believe lots of different arrangements would come up from different musicians, even when just playing three chords. i don't slap, don't think it suits the music style, and frankly never really learnt to do it, but maybe some other bassist would find a way to add some slapping to a song, or whatever. Maybe someone thinks it would be better for the song to use a pick, or his fingers, etc.
thanks for your thoughts!
