BassBus Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Another ambient flavoured tune. The Flashback delay has arrived so on the board. Lovely piece of kit, just have to learn how to use it. Ending didn't turn out quite as expected but still plenty of noise. WARNING: If you are at all offended by the use of a pick on a bass or a bass guitar that doesn't always sound like a bass guitar then you might want to give this a miss. On the other hand you could live dangerously, you know you want to. http://youtu.be/v1GOVD8oBTk Edited January 31, 2016 by BassBus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 It's working now. I enjoyed it. Gave me something to listen to while I done the dishes there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairyu Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 This made me think of Simon & Garfunkel - For Emily (Wherever I May Find Her). Nice vibe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Nice ! I'm all for bass not sounding or being played like 'it should' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys. Dish washing music. Hmm, new genre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dapper Bandit Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Very nice indeed! You kind of lose yourself in it and almost forget it's on only to catch yourself listening to it later on. But then that's sort of the point of ambient music, right? Two thumbs up, while definitely keep an eye out for the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 great sounds! Please feel free to ignore me, but... When it builds up to the point of distortion, the distortion isn't very nice. It might be worth putting a nicer dirt pedal or amp sim at the end of the chain, or if you wanted it clean then a limiter. I would love to have a go on your pedal board inside a feedback loop!

blueburstbass93 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Very nice! I like the effects on the bass lead that sound like singing, only think i'd say is you could pick closer to the neck on the melody stuff, make it sound a bit mellow but thats my personal preference.

Leaning more to pure ambient. [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1455713229' post='2981693'] great sounds! Please feel free to ignore me, but...

[/quote] The distortion is part of the lofi delay type. It wasn't meant to be that way. It was meant to be on the tape delay which brought the sound from the ditto back in a kind of wash. Somehow I nudged the switch. Ho hum, as Brian Eno has said, celebrate your mistakes. That's what you learn from. [quote name='blueburstbass93' timestamp='1455812341' post='2982668'] Very nice!
