chrismuzz Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Tight as a nuns anus! Really nice lines too, to be honest I was expecting more shred and less music so this was a pleasant surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urb Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Andy - this sh*t is ridiculous - I mean if you weren't doing it so damn well I'd probably actually dislike it - but I don't I totally dig it because you absolutely nail everything you want to nail - musically it's not my bag but I 100% admire you and your dedication and skill - my only advice is just go as hard as you can at this and see where the hell you end up - it could be both interesting and profitable Keep it the hell up my man Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well executed in the bass department, no doubt about that. The only thing I'd suggest is that unfortunately the backing track is really badly clipping throughout through my monitors. Pull the overall level back and work on the mastering and you'll be laughing. Drop D tuning yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHUFC BASS Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I saw the title of this thread and thought - this is going to be the usual pony shred / fretboard ego trip but after giving it a listen, its actually very very good. Well done to you sir. Great playing and a great song too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same about the clipping when I exported the video from Adobe Premiere. However the actual EP which is on iTunes has been professionally summed and mastered to not peak beyond 0db so I am blaming my poor video editing skills!

I am on the fence if I should carry on in this direction of if I should create another EP completely different. Have you got a new album out yet? if so i'd like to do an album swap again? Hope you are well buddy, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bass Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm in the process of putting together some packs for my website including - tabs + tutorial videos + slowed down MP3's of sections. I am gonna be selling these from my site but my basschat brothers/sisters will get some tabs for free :-) Thanks for the support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 How many hours a day do you practice? A serious question. I don't think I could reach that speed even if I gave up work and sat on the bass 24/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bass Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 [quote name='Blademan_98' timestamp='1345575326' post='1779084'] How many hours a day do you practice? A serious question. I don't think I could reach that speed even if I gave up work and sat on the bass 24/7 [/quote] I have always played to a metronome and I challenge myself to practice to higher bpm's. It may sound a bit obsessive but I record myself to check transient peaks to the beat map within my DAW to improve on my timing, especially with polyrhythmic material. This way when any of my drummer friends say 'you were not tight in that section' I can tell them to shove their drum sticks up their %^&$@ Also i'm a young looking 30 year old (or so i've been told ) who has been playing since the tender age of 15 and didn't get invited out by any of the cool kids at school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
