Sign in to disble this ad
Ok, this is a clip I recorded of the bassline to "Gaslighting Abbey" by Steely Dan with Tom Barney on bass. One of my top 5 rated basslines ever. The groove and the tone and everything is just pure awesome. I just learned this part of it 10 minutes ago and came up with a great tone for it, one the best bass tones I've come up with so far, imo.
Not my best playing though, since I just learned it. It's not in my muscle memory yet :wink: http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=543777&T=6489
Let me know what you think, of the tone especially - and Enjoy

Dang, that sounds fine!

It's a 5-string Ken Lawrence Unity Bass. With custom Benavente pickups (sooo sweet  ). Recorded straight through a DI with some compression.

-Eric. | I've heard that from a few people. It seems to be some problem that certain people have with Acidplanet. Might be an incorrect codec or something, I have no idea. Try downloading the clip first or something.
Thanks for the comments guys. Glad you like it

| | | | I'm downloading it right now (even though it's not large, it can take awhile when you have a dialup connection), and I'll let you know what I think! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
