Some nice stuff on here. I do not hugely enjoy listening to myself because I annoy myself when I hear my personal cliches etc but sometimes it comes together

The first was recorded in a local studio where my DB sounds better than anywhere due to the lovely ATC monster monitors they have and the fine Neumann they put on the bass. One day I will own a pair of ATCs for my house. What was gratifying was that I managed to control my urge to play more than I needed to and just rumbled along at the bottom. It is self-control which is sadly lacking in much of what I do What usually happens is that I get comfortable playing what I had intended and look for ways to spice it up. Sadly I do not have the Pino "taste gene" so inveriably have to apologise 30 seconds into playback, turn on my heel and go in to do it again

This was done at home and the structure of the bass line ebbs and flows nicely. Nothing is more important than structure of a line for me, if I had the chops to play fast weaving complex chromaticisms around a vocal I would use them at all times obv, but if the line did not breath with the song I would just get angry with myself. This was one of those lines which you chuck down, feel that it is going well but get more and more nervous as the song progresses incase you mess up. You get to the end with the feeling of "phew, I might actually get away with that!"
