alyctes Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Good for you for doing it, and for putting it out there. It's way above my standard, for sure. I find it a bit cluttered to listen to, personally, but that may be more to do with choice of genre. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thats a very nice sound you got there and nice melody. Well done! This is the style I wish to play, bass instrumentals (once I get out of my bass nappies). May I ask what amp and fx (if any) you are using? Also which pickup do you use and how do you treat your EQs? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Canny and easy. If I was to be honest I'd say your string/finger noise needs work as it detracts from the melody. A little is nice because it sounds organic, but you don't want it to dominate. Apart from that, crack on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueburstbass93 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Cheers for the feedback guys, i appreciate it . I recorded it with both pickups and tone controls on full and there's no amp, direct recording with reverb and compression, try the FET electric bass preset on the logic compressor, it's really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbn4001 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hey - not too bad at all; I agree with comment on string noise, and a little too rubato here and there imho - but otherwise lovely playing overall. On another note --- I checked your other Sound cloud stuff. .. Is Sun & Air an original composition? It's lovely and i can't find it anywhere else. Bill Evans-esque and sublime. .

blueburstbass93 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Sun and air and son and heir are tom haines compositions, he was my teacher at college and we recorded them while there, he went on to win a few jazz composition prizes and I think is doing pretty well now, i'm not sure if he recorded those tunes again though so it may be the only version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
