small little tune by a bass-playing drummer!

Freeloader · #1 12-30-2004, 11:59 AM

hey guys,
i'm new here. i'm actually a drummer but have always loved the bass. i've never really learned to play the instrument, but i guess i've listened to so many bassists that i just kinda picked up a little bit here and there. i recently bought an ibanez soundgear 5-string bass and plugged it into my pc and started recording, first doing a random bass line over a click, then programming a groove to go with it and then layering parts til i was left with this tune. i also played keyboards on the track. i'd love to hear what you guys, who are all bassists, think of my bass playing. please keep in mind that i'm not a real bassist, and PLEASE don't laugh at my solo!
heh.

I dig it. It could be mixed better, but there are some nice ideas going through there, and some nice textures.

Heh, right after listening weather report(black market) came on.

well, wrong robot already said it.

it's not very polished or anything, but definitely contains some nice ideas!
