I've been playing bass for about a year now, been having a lot of fun doing it too. My band that I joined a few months back has posted its first recordings and I would like you, the people of TB, to tell me if I suck or not. Our page is at www.myspace.com/heyhihowareya and I'd recommend listening either to the pawns or Sleeping With Your Shoes On, they have the most prominent bass tracks. The vocals are a bit off key, but just do your best to ignore that. Constructive criticism, advice, etc. is appreciated  |

Try adjusting your mids next time you record. It seems like you got some nifty fills..its a shame they dont stand out from the mix.
dont let the guitarist win the battle!

Seriously though, you sound solid. The best and most important part is that you enjoy yourself regardless.

If you can tighten up your sound a bit, you should be able to build a good following. It's a pretty competitive scene but people support the hell out of local music.

don't do what I did and listen to clips of some of the folks on this forum. You will really think you suck then.
I thought I was killer... now... well...
