Just got my new soundcard set up and made a little diddy... so I was thinking, why not take this opportunity to invite everyone to share some of their solos here?
enjoy!  www.allnightchemist.net/upload/solo.mp3 |

I never miss the opportunity for shameless self promotion (though I've already started a thread, in this forum, for this very reason  ), so here's two solo tunes of mine: Song for Anna A not quite finished tune featuring sloppy attempts at improvisation, complete with bum notes
Enjoy, and if you go through the hassle of downloading, please don't forget to comment!
(To the moderators: if you disagree with my indeed shameless cross posting regimen, let me know, and I'll be happy to edit/delete my posts/signature et.c.) |

Just remember...

Feel free to listen to the others, but honestly some of them are not too listenable. Listener beware |

I used my Fender/Curbow hybrid bass and the drums I got from groove agent 2 and hypersonic 2.
And I wanna thank you all for contributing to this thread.... I always love listening to bass players putting themselves out there  |

Both my tunes are recorded only using my Warwick Streamer Stage I strung with LaBella Slappers (still quite fresh sounding), with the active onboard eq set flat, and the pick up pan at dead center. IIRC, I mostly picked towards the bridge pickup but not directly over it, with a light touch. The bass was then plugged into an iBook, via a M-Audio Fast Track USB recording device, and Garageband. There are no effects used, and if Garageband doesn't have some kind of eq built into it's "no effects" bass recording channel, there's no equalization to the signal either. I like everything clean and flat, so that what you hear is just a combination of bass, strings and my hands. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
