My Bass Playing - Your Opinion?

Great job. Your sound reminded me of early Fountains of Wayne. You definitely have a good pop sensibility in your writing. Your playing is solid and well executed. I would certainly stack your vocal harmonies, or, if they're there, bring them up in the mix. I liked your style of bass playing. Probably because I play that way when I'm doing pop. The only thing I would change is some orchestration of the guitars. In addition to the acoustic, I would strive for a more electric Rickenbacker sound where it sounds like you're doubling or bringing harmonic content into the tunes. Perhaps, try arpeggio chords.

Having said all of that - again, great job.
