My bass and vocals with new stoner rock band. (Gibson grabber content.)

[Shockwave]

Hey guys.

Just recorded my first live rough as heck demo with my new stoner/prog/rock band. One take only.

Gibson Grabber with the pup slid to the neck.
Sansamp VT bass Deluxe
Power amp
Hi-watt 1x15 2x10.

Everything mic'd up. I am also doing lead vocals (They are terrible I know my first time, but no one else in the band wanted to do it.) We are tuned drop C, somethings up with my tuning/intonation as the bass sounds a little flat. Otherwise I love my tone.

What say you guys?

I'll be honest, it might not sound brilliant, but I am bloody proud of it, never thought I could get in front of a mic and belt it out and get something close to the tone that I want.

Not bad! I like the fact that the vocals don't sound like typical stoner rock and sound more like Zack De La Rocha, especially in the first one! I will say the bass is way too loud though compared to the guitars though, especially since the bass has quite a mid-present clank. I know we as bass players like to be heard but I think you overpower the mix a bit here!

It was my bands decision to bump me up in the mix! I am not one to complain! Never have I heard myself on a recording before so pretty chuffed! We got some radio play recently and things are looking up!

I 'd say the same. Very good tho' musically. You sound a little upset vocally tho'
