Some jammin' on my Rickenbacker 4001v63..

Yesterday evening I was jammin' on my Rickenbacker 4001v63.

Drum and bass only

Same, but with guitar



I recorded the v63 with Ampeg SVX

Cheers.

Sounds like a lot of treble and not a lot of bass. Very crisp and clear though.

Was expecting more of a Paul Weller in The Jam style guitar there.

It sounds like the guitar and bass are maybe too busy at times but yeah, you got the makings of a song there. Enjoyed listening - it sounds bright and fresh.

I'm really !#$% in guitar playing, so this was kinda my best effort
Glad you enjoyed listening to it!

Perhaps you're right Dane, probably should have dialed a bit more bass in there.
Western Australia = beautiful btw!

I thought the guitar playing was tidy enough and the texture of all the sounds is good.

What I am saying is that.....

busy guitar + busy bass = potential for mush.

My suggestion is to work on the arrangement and have less busy bass to support the guitar when it's doing something interesting and maybe chords on the guitar when the bass is doing something interesting. The Jam were very good at this - maybe have a listen to "Funeral Pyre", "Tube Station" and "Strange Town".

I can't really comment on the bottom end as I am listening on computer speakers.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Will check out those songs from the Jam.
Cheers

i love your tone on the bass nice and trebly but clear too

[Matt Till]

I think it has a decent amount of low, it's very trebley, but a lot of Ric players seem to go for that (Damn you Chris Squire), I dig it.

Sounds like some of the newer Iron Maiden. Like the bass tone, not so crazy about the guitar.

Thanks guys.
I'll probably send the drum and bass track to a mate of mine who is a guitarist or to my brother. He plays guitar aswel.

Thanks for listening!!
