nicklathambass Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1333805686' post='1606754'] 'Like'. Epic skills, indeed. Are those your bass-playing trophies in that cabinet? [/quote] HAHA!! Thanks for the kind words, and that would be amazing if I had bass-playing trophies. xDD Unfortunately no, that is not what they are! I recorded my video at my very good friend Luke's house - he used to do a lot of cross country running and was evidently very good at it. Hahahaha. [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1333807927' post='1606785'] Brilliant song Nick, i was wondering if you on here actually, but now you clearly are. Liked it when you posted your video a few days ago as i've been subbed for a while (And we've had a few conversations too, my username is dopewithabass) Liam [/quote] Good to see you dude! 'Course I know who you are! [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1333807197' post='1606772'] im going to ask the obvious here - i assume you wrote the whole thing yes? the riff at 1:30 and 2:10 is monster! beats metal of death any day imo and top marks for the yammy too [/quote] I did indeed write the whole thing. Glad you like the riff! It was funny when I was writing it - I thought to myself "hmm, it needs something before the solo section..." I just started playing and that riff came out. I was like "alright then, that'll do nicely! Thanks, hands!" And yeah. I really love my Yamaha. --- Now I've answered a load of the posts here (thanks for all of them by the way, really appreciate the support), I have awesome news. It's looking like I'm going to win the contest. I posted my video here (obviously) and have had a fantastic response (thankyou), on talkbass (and got a similar response which is also awesome), on Facebook a billion times (on my fanpage* as well as my personal account), my friends shared it a load, my subscribers on YouTube have been awesome sharing it, and my followers on twitter**. The biggest bass guitar Facebook page shared it, and also a really popular YouTuber promoted it and asked her fans & friends to support me and vote for me. As a result, it's looking like I've pretty much won. I don't want to jynx it so I'm almost thinking about not posting this... Unless something goes drastically wrong before voting closes in the next 7 days, I've won. I'm so bloody excited and happy!! :] But I'm gonna risk it. Thankyou all so much for your support, I can't really believe it. The Sandberg looks and sounds amazing and I can't wait to get it... (providing I do in fact win of course)... Thanks again, I literally cannot say it enough. Hope you're all doing awesome.

dmccombe7 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Loved it Nick. Fantastic technique, very fluent. Great song and i would buy this. I can feel your excitement from here. Its given me a nice feeling just reading this thread. Dave Edited April 14, 2012 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB3000S Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Big thumbs up from me too! Love the piece, amazing solo and overall great composition. And your playing just looks sooooo effortless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 HAHAHAHA! That is REALLY good! Thumbs up! I can't stand that little expressionless tap you do, it has no musical reason for existing. But everything else is very well played. You are going to be one hell of a bassist if you keep that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm a bit late to vote I think, but great stuff. I especially like the solo (bit from 1:44ish) as your timing is spot on and lovely tone (coming from someone who generally does not like bass solos) Well done - you have a bright future ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicklathambass Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I totally am coming back haha!! I've just been a bit busy the last few days. THANKS SO MUCH for all your support & kind words everyone, can't believe I won.. argh... It's insane! I made a video thanking everyone here & the people at talkbass too, because you made me feel super welcome even though I'm clearly a total noob to forums etc. I didn't want you to think I just used the forum to get votes, I really am going to try and become more of an active member here! I even say so in the video. Thanks again, I cannot wait to get my grubby mitts on the Sandberg MarloweDK signature bass prototype! It sounds sooo niceeee!!
