ped Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I was home alone today with nowt to do, so after a couple of episodes of Gadget Man and after taking Sybil for a walk, I thought I'd try and fathom Garageband and do some simple recording. But what to record? Well, lets make a drum beat and see where that leads us. OK now grab the bass and jam along. How about another bass? And another? Keep going until it sounds a right mess! Here I used: Panned slightly left, main groove: Vigier passion with Roland GK pickup (4 bars clean, 4 on jazz bass setting, 4 on P bass, 4 on Stingray, 4 'stink synth', 1 acoustic, 1 fretless synth, 2 chameleon synth) Slightly to the right: Vigier Arpege, clean, both pickups A bit more to the right: Vigier Arpege Fretless, rear pickup. Enjoy - I warn you, it's a bit of a mess but great fun!! I got a text halfway through it which threw me and it all goes wrong at the end. ped https://soundcloud.c...-basses-covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Nice. Remimds me of the soundtrack to an 80s buddy cop action movie. Possibly played while the maverick one is downing several bourbons after a tough day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm listening for a second time now and am really enjoying picking through all the sounds! - Loving that P Bass sound - That's the Roland?? Really? I also have massive GAS for a fretless .. and the fretless synth too. And a Vigier And the Roland Dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks, yeah it's an especially sweet sounding fretless I have to say. I prefer it to the passion fretless I had before it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH73 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's great. I've done something similar.But I'm jealous when people say I've nothing to do. I never have enough time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I had things to do really, but I just didn't do them. My wife-to-be was really pleased I'd spent the whole day on synths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
