New solo bass album

Sounds great! What instrument(s) did you use?
I used a Fender Japanese aerodyne 4 string p/j modded with Aguilar P/J set, tuned GDAE (5ths) on the tracks Asahi and Harris & Me.

I used a custom 6 string Stambaugh using the piezo pickups BEADGC for A Minor Dance of the Honey Gee and Into the Sunset.

I used my American Geddy Lee signature jazz bass tuned ADGC using both pickups for Nocturnal Emissions. For live I’ll just use the 6 string. I wrote the song EADG as well as “honey gee” but I preferred it up a 4th for the sake of the record.

I DI’d the whole thing and didn’t use any amp sims. I was going to re-amp but the DI sounded great. I did have a lot of hiss using the piezo pickups I just made it work the best I could. Mixed it all in the box.
