It's now on sale on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and all the rest. The [b]only [/b]thing to buy friends and family this Xmas if you [b]really [/b]love them!

At long last got this produced, the [url="https://flirtwithdanger.bandcamp.com/releases"]Flirt With Danger Mini-album[/url] Mastering was done at Metropolis Studios in London, otherwise everything was done by yours truly in my home studio (including the artwork, which I ended up knocking up myself when the designer fell sick and couldn't complete). It'll be released across all main digital channels on Oct 28th but for now can be bought at Bandcamp, with a 10% discount if you enter the code, prerelease Can't remember which bass I used but none are that recent, so I will have used my Squier VM Jazz. I may have re-recorded some using my Ricky 4003SW.

I use a Gretsch Tennessee Rose... whereas the 6120 is regarded as THE rockabiily guitar, I still prefer my Tenny as it's longer scale and hence more twang down the bottom end.

Awaiting delivery on an AKG D112 for miking my bass combo, I'll post how well it works next week when I have a chance to try it out. I've been DIing my bass until now as my only dynamic, a SM58, doesn't have enough bottom end. A condenser mic, for other purposes, would be a good choice (as every one else says you need phantom power support though).

Just 2, Squier VM Jazz and a Ricky 4003SW, and it's unlikely there'll be any more. I'm a guitarist who can't find any other band members, so I had to learn how to play bass myself (still I love playing bass, although it could be considered as a lower-tuned guitar with fewer strings, it's a very different experience).

OMG that control room is just awesome.

Only thing I've had done to mine (4 string rather than 5) is the series/parallel switch. In series mode it has a sort of J/P hybrid sound, which I prefer on the most notes, while parallel sounds better to me on the high end.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1458837353' post='3011422'] The company I work for has started offering audio-video services, which now involves me creating ambient 'soundscapes' for organisations such as the National Trust (audio files that are triggered using PIR sensors when people enter certain rooms of a property, helping to bring the space ‘to life’). All put together using samples sourced from Creative Commons libraries. Very different to my usual fayre - and a lot of fun! Here are some examples for anyone interested - best experienced using headphones: [url="http://soundcloud.com/countryscape/brewhouse"]Tudor Brewhouse[/url] [/quote] There are a lot of sounds in that one I reckon would be very useful for re-synthesis like in Logic Pro Alchemy, might have a go one day if I ever find time.

After getting used to a Squier VM I tried a MIM and found it disappointing - no better in terms of feel and the VM's pickups had more bottom end.

How does it sound/feel compared to the real thing?

Agreed on the bass sound... what did you use?

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1457007399' post='2994380'] is that you on drums? Very cool [/quote] Would love to claim credit but it was Logic Pro's Drummer. Though I did come up with the conga beat and made Drummer follow that.

My song [url="https://soundcloud.com/flirtwithdanger/love-journey"]Love Journey [/url] I've no idea what style to call this, the drum track's very much Tamla but the rhythm guitar's closer to funk. A friend suggested 'Atlantic Soul', but I can't think of any similar tracks. Then again, I don't really play this kind of music much anyway, the rest of the songs on soundcloud are more rockabilly / garage / punk / alt-country. And before anyone mentions it, yes, I [b]know[/b] I'm a lousy singer.

My virtual band's soundcloud page, [url="https://soundcloud.com/flirtwithdanger"]Flirt With Danger[/url] Mostly originals with a few covers thrown in, yesterday I exhausted the upload allocation with a free account and had to go Pro. Last couple of songs have my new Ricky on them, the year before my Squier VM J, and before that various sampled basses played on keyboards.

SM57's have a lot of bottom end roll-off, so surely it wouldn't be much good for recording a bass? Unless you were mixing it in with a DI and just using it to capture the upper harmonics.
