I won't be able to do one until Monday anyway, I have a summer fair gig this afternoon so I'll not have time to record anything beforehand.

I did a gig last night. Signal chain was bass --> amp. No effects, no PA. Works great and keeps it simple.

Stranglers - Nice n Sleazy?

None of them are that good, due to the flat shape and dirt getting constantly trapped/building up around the bridge and strings. Also, its quite easy to get your foot stuck in the cut-out.

I'd have never got it! I don't know if you want to do another, or if I ought to do one since I won Good Times Bad Times.

There is still this one to do. It needs to be downloaded, then edit the filename to add .mp3 extension to it and it will play. Bass3.mp3

Good Times Bad Times by Led Zeppelin?

I could have played it if I had the music! I downloaded a piano transcription a few weeks ago, with the octaves instead of the 16th note version!!

I know, it was an alternative arrangement I had - it was unintentional if it misled, but it spiced things up a bit - anyway, you've won!

I have "produced" the new clue. If you don't get it now, I will arrange for the band themselves to come to your house, set up their equipment (with the band's name on the kick drum) and play it for you, it feels like I am gifting it to you: http://www.fse-aardvark-planner.tk/other/gtbl3c.mp3

None of them are right. I will do a further clue tomorrow. You will kick yourselves once you hear it!

I am going out in about 5 minutes. If it is not guessed by then, I shall have to confirm any guesses in 4 hours time approx.

Its only been 3 hours! Ok here is an audio clue. For fun, I have also recorded the guitar part, I have included part of it as a teaser . Apologies for the glitch at the start, I don't know how to use Reaper (yet). http://www.fse-aardvark-planner.tk/other/gtbl3b.mp3

This one is a little less easy than my others, although I am sure its possible to guess: http://www.fse-aardvark-planner.tk/other/gtbl3.mp3

I'll do another. Hang on....

You only have 2 pedals~? And its been suggested already, tuner first.

How long was the time period from placing the bid to the auction ending (with you winning it)? I believe there is a bid retraction mechanism in place, but you might not be able to do that in the last few hours etc. Anyway, that's for next time or for others if a similar thing happens. I personally think you should just go ahead and buy it; but there's not much actually stopping you not doing so, and earning a non-payment strike. It depends if your future reputation on eBay is valuable to you, since that non-payment strike will be visible to other sellers when you bid on something (I think).

Yes!

Ok not so obvious (I hope!) this time, but I am sure some will know it. Once again, fretless with no monitoring - I did try it, but with a 1/4 second lag its impossible to play while its on! Or I could find another lead and hook everything up etc etc.... http://www.fse-aardvark-planner.tk/other/gtbl2.mp3

Paul Young - Wherever I lay my hat?

But we're not storing the masters of iconic pop songs in MP3 on Stub Mandrel's home computer......(are we?)

Yay! I wasn't sure if it would be really obvious.

Yay! Ok try this: http://www.fse-aardvark-planner.tk/other/bass line for guess the bass line.mp3 Apologies for the poor quality, I literally just plugged a fretless bass into the audio interface and I had no monitor so I could only hear it acoustically, I think its come out okay though?

Is it Air - La Femme d'Argent?

If 16 bit limits the further options for processing (I don't think it would though, unless you were very sloppy recording it initially) then that same limitation would apply to the analogue recording. Think about it......
