Beer of the Bass Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I though I'd pop these up here for people to check out; here are three tracks which Jen and the Gents put up on their bandcamp page this month. [url="http://jenthegents.bandcamp.com/album/right-now-ep"]http://jenthegents.bandcamp.com/album/right-now-ep[/url] If anyone is curious about the bass sound, I'm playing home-built gear on this one, my five-string bass into my valve preamp box for a tiny bit of grit, plus my Superfuzz clone on Right Now. I had D'Addario tapewounds on at the time, and the bass is DI'd via a BSS AR116 DI box. We had to do a bit of creative EQ-ing to make the DI fuzz sound work, but as we recorded the drums, bass and guitars live in one room we were trying to avoid mic-ing a cab.

Annoying Twit Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 There's something endearingly unpretentious about your music. I mean that in a good way. It isn't all glossy, but that seems to suit who you are and what you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Cheers guys. I should probably point out, this is the band I had the thread in General Discussion about leaving, and I'll no longer be playing with them. These recordings were done over a year ago when things felt on a little more of a roll, and I thought I'd stick them up here as I'm still kind of pleased with how they came out. I've been chatting with a guy who's trying out for the post and he's a decent player and seems enthusiastic enough, so I reckon the band will still be worth catching live when they get back to gigging.
