Thanks man! More is on the way...

New mix at the top!

That's exactly what our plan is ...to take this to the stage, live. We need to think through exactly what we need in the lineup - but we should have something sorted soon. Thanks for the feedback!

That will work, but you will only hear it from one headphone and there will be terrible latency and distortion/volume issues. Not really an option if you ask me

We are remixing this ....I'll put it back up soon!

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated. The beats were programmed simply by sampling some borrowed (from Tom Waits) and some recorded drum sounds and sequencing them one by one in the protools 'timeline'. The double bass was my awful cheap bass mic'd and Di'd. I think we managed to make it sound half decent! As for vocals, we'll keep playing around. Cheers!

Ah cheers man! glad you like it, there is definitely more in the pipeline. Great to hear a bit of feedback...thanks. The vocal is an experiment...we have an alternate mix with no vocal, just wanted to see if this worked or not. Haven't decided yet!

Hey guys! Another tune for your ears to hopefully enjoy... Let me know what you think. The bass was of course my cardboard (or similar material) double bass with a Bass Max fitted, along with a Neumann Mic.

I love my Sterling

If they still sounded like this I would go

Ah thanks man! First time my DB playing has been complimented. Glad you liked it, we'll be putting up more videos soon!

The other day we had our very first band practice. I think it went really well and we managed to get down 3 originals ...should be gigging by september. It's exciting and new! have a look at this song... Cheers!

[quote name='Wil' post='1310119' date='Jul 20 2011, 11:21 AM']It is a great album. If you like Rain Dogs I'd check out Swordfishtrombones next [/quote] Nighthawks at The Diner is a must.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1309132' date='Jul 19 2011, 01:46 PM']Do you still miss your old one?[/quote] I really miss it. It was a sight to behold, in the flesh it was awesome. Maybe I preferred my HS - it had more 'soul' and played like nothing else. I eventually got realized that I didn't need such an epic bass but regretted selling it pretty much instantly. I've got the Sterling now though, and a Jazz which cover mostly everything I could need.

Bongo 5HHp = best bass I ever owned.

We've started recording and I'm extremely excited about it. We have set up a studio in a spare room with an 8-core powermac at the heart... It's sounding really, really good. We are starting recording the double bass next week. Watch this space! Zak

SO great

I like them. Quite a lot

Righto, thanks for the replies. I'll take it to a pro, and I'm sure I can whip up some kind of jack socket thingy. Can't wait to hear it.

I've seen you guys in Ipswich before, loved it! I think my brother was in a band with Karnel before ...I'll see ya there!

...and it looks lovely. Completely enclosed and very weighty - it's a quality piece of kit. But, forgive my ignorance - how do I fit it? Thanks! Zak
