S/D Bassists #86 - Dollar Tree Romance

Finally did the final sanding and slapped the first coat of tru oil on the bass body. I was going to mix some blue artist oil in with tru oil but tore the house apart looking for it and couldn't find it, so looked at that as something telling me to just go natural finish. Anyway here is a quick pic right after I got the first coat on. Really happy with how dark it made the alder come out.
 
So my band finally has a Bandcamp now that our drummer is no longer with us. We need to find a new drummer and we are going to keep truckin.

So this is just two songs we recorded in my basement as a demo. Pretty rough and not our best songs, but the two that were the easiest to pull off as most of the other songs have much trickier parts and solos. Also, not our doomiest songs.

Got a pretty good haul of cds from the thrift store. A buck a piece:
