All recorded on a bass....

[Jigster]

I've uploaded a track I recorded on my Nash jazz - all the percussive elements are from the open strings and the rest as is.

I plugged direct into a Cakewalk interface and played it clean with no effects directly on the bass itself, apart from eq etc

It's a dreamscape for a world that seems to move far too fast.

PLEASE USE HEADPHONES, or at least don't play direct from laptop speakers, if you please.

Any feedback welcome

I'd say you've achieved the mood you are after. If I were to offer constructive criticism, I would prefer to hear the melody unharmonised and perhaps in a higher register; in my opinion, the bass chords sound quite cumbersome and are not really in keeping with the effect you are trying to achieve.
