Reggae Rock tune with MusicMan Stingray 4HH (thoughts?)

JoshXR · #1 11-08-2012, 05:33 PM

Hey all,

I just did a recording with the band the other week called "Summer Snow". I used a Stingray 4HH plugged into an Aguilar TLC compressor into the board. It's a more laid back rock tune with a Reggae/RHCP feel, IMO.

Hope you like it and let me know what you think of the bass tone!

Cheers,
-Josh

Sounds pretty awesome, very nice composition. Stringray tone fits better than I thought it would.

I feel the bass could be turned down, especially on the first section. Blasphemous as that sounds on TB

Thanks. I agree about the bass level, it's a tad high.

I do all the recording/mixing for my band, and we are currently recording our second album. Should be done in a few months. I will tweak the mixes of all the songs near the end of the process, Summer Snow included.

Sounds great.

Off topic....isn't technology amazing? That's what DEMO's sound like these days.....boy......I'm glad I wasn't playing music in the 60's......

I hated the sound in the beginning. Then I ended up drifting off into space. (maybe its because I should be sleeping right now) but I really love that sound you've got. I hated it at first, seemed to deep with just too much punch but not enough treble? Idk I didn't like it but now it sorta makes more sense. Color me impressed

Thank you! I think that might be the first positive comment I've received that started with "I hated"

And yes, technology is great. It's only a demo cause I haven't tweaked the mix and our keyboardist hasn't recorded his parts yet.

Cheers Talkbass!
