I was expecting something the the clash's sandanista lol... Thats pretty damn good though, is that you playing the piano and drums to??

It's Sandinista. After Augusto Sandino, a hero. Thus, IMO, spelling is important in this instance.

Augusto César Sandino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I kinda wondered about the spelling, it's just what came to mind as I recorded the song, so all that matters is how I spell it as the title of my song

That's true. Just wanted people who didn't know anything of Sandino, to check out his bio. Cool groove.

By the way, the bass on this song is my Cecilio CDB-100. Got it off ebay new for $499.99 with free shipping, as I said before I filed the nut slots, found another bridge for it and put on Corelli 380M strings, and tho after this song I did figure how to record it better, the bass plays like a dream, sounds great, and even looks really nice too. I still just Love it and play it every day. Wish I knew how consistant they are, but judging by this one, if something happened to it, as soon as I could I'd order another in a heartbeat, even tho they're 100 dollars more now. After reading many posts on here I"m kinda surprised that the neck didn't need planing. All I did to the neck was use the finest sandpaper I had to get rid of a couple places where the paint was a bit splotched. Anyway, for me, this bass is a dream come true, couldn't afford more at the time and couldn't even afford that now, I'm glad this is the one I chose
