Salut all, I wanted to use almost all of my basses in my album Gazillian Project (just because I can). Everything was done by me on this album, 100% amateur homemade . Too bad I am not as good as I wanted with clean rythm bass playing, I will have to practice ! The bass is the main instrument driving the songs, but not as a lead one like in fusion or what. Will you recognize the distinctive tone of them ? 00:00 The Cloud : NO BASS 01:12 The Broken (I) : Flatwound Jazz bass (DI). 04:30 The Smile (II) : Modulus Funk Unlimited (through my rig). + EMG P equiped Precision Bass (DI) + Squier Bass VI (DI) for the western vibe bridge 08:54 The Sand (III) : EMG P equiped Precision Bass (DI)+ overdriven EMG P equiped Precision Bass (through my rig). 19:00 The Need (IV) : Ernie Ball Stingray (through rig), with hard 2nd order filter on the DAW 24:33 The Fact (V) : Rickenbacker 4003 (through rig with YYZ pedal) 28:33 The Line (VI) : Flatwound Muted Precision (DI) + Modulus Funk Unlimited (through my rig) for slap 32:14 The Eyes (VII) : Squier Bass VI (through guitar rig) + Rickenbacker 4003 (through rig with flanger) 34:15 The Fall (VIII) : Flatwound Jazz bass (DI) + Flatwound Muted Precision (DI) for the grand final Soundcloud Link (only the first song appears here on Talkbass ) : Youtube Link : The recording from my rig was done with LOTS of pedals, Gallien Krueger MB-500 head and MOOER RADAR CAB SIM, with my own IR ( Gallien Krueger NEO 410 with two SM-57 ) Lots of efforts into that album, particularly mixing ! But mixing is way easier when you are the only guy in the band, no more ego fight about which frequency bandwidth for what instrument ! Plus you fluent english speaking guys and girls can laugh about my accent, I give you that haha ! regards, Clement
wow! what an undertaking! it's all good to my ears, although i immediately gravitate to a few of those --- e.g., i appreciate the little funky twist on the line (VI). and i don't hear anything but english in the singing...i doubt an accent would hurt the effort, anyway. pretty cool stuff, clement. i commend you for your hard work, your great playing, and your talent/skills bringing it all together with your studio chops! nice job! thanks for sharing your music!
re: all your basses: i think that's a fun element to your project. i bought into all of it! nice job!
I really enjoyed this bass forward project. I say bass forward rather than bass centric. It’s great to hear bass in the context of the songs.
