The attached file is me playing my version of a bassline to the Elvis Costello song Oliver's Army. If you have any audio software you should be able to slot this in and see how it works. Or not. :)


Interested in all comments, good or bad. Tell me about the sound, the tone, my technique, anything at all. :)

I should explain that this is my Cort Artisan B5, everything flat, EQ off. Just the natural bass tone straight into a recorder.

Thank you!

:lol:

Nice tone, warm but with a nice clear midrange.

Hard to say what the playing is like without hearing it in the context of the song, though...

Nicely played. I like how clean your playing is.
I've been playing this on and off for a couple of year but only recently sat down to learn it properly.
I think the part in the chorus where Elvis sings "...are on their way" is F#- G# (G# - A# after the key change). I hadn't noticed this until the other night.

This is a bit like a musical Airfix kit :)[/quote]

Its a great bass line isnt it?I always wanted to play it live, ever since i took up bass but had to wait until a few years ago, shame on me for never learning it before.
