Skol303 Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Voting has now started on March's Composition Challenge. Just one vote this month (yeah, we're rationing - it's very topical). So make it count... Dad3353 Leonard Smalls lurksalot SH73 upside downer fingers211 And a very last minute addition from MoonBassAlpha: Voting ends at midnight on Tuesday 31st March.

lurksalot Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Fantastic set of tunes there ! brilliant , I could easily vote for any of the 5! @Teebs you can have a listen to my interpretation of what your virtual triangle solo would have sounded like Edited March 26, 2020 by lurksalot Quote
upside downer Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Another fine mix this month, bravo peeps. And with many on lockdown and trying to fill their days with whatever they can I'd imagine this is a rather pleasant way to pass 20-odd minutes. That should ensure lots more folks voting this time around, yes? Ever the optimist.......☺️ 1 Quote

I am sure there will be more voters, but I really would like to see loads of BCers dive in and join in , we ought to do 2 a month now that people are getting locked down, having said that, I reckon @Dad3353 could offer a decent effort every week Edited March 27, 2020 by lurksalot 1 Quote

SH73 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Shame I couldn't vote for the best 😙 But voted anyhoo 2 Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I voted ages ago... But as we're approaching the deadline and we've only had 9 voters perhaps I could get more interest from the locked-down throng by asking "should I use a Jazz or a P bass next time?" 2 Quote
upside downer Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Is this challenge any good for metal? 1 2 Quote

Give me my bargain-basement Wal or ACG any day!!!!) 1 Quote

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 would Mark King or Flea be best at the Composition Challenge? 2 Quote

They're free to take their chances, as long as they sign up..! They probably won't, though, while we have Lenny in there stealing their thunder. 1 Quote

Not sure about that , but maybe one of the challenge rules for bass, could be that you should not be using a 5 string or more , after all Jaco only needed 4 1 Quote
lurksalot Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 some good ideas thinking on. Maybe Paul could rig up some contentious title to next months voting to attract some clickbait Quote
Dad3353 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) @MoonBassAlpha Some details as to the execution and production of your track, please..? What drums are they..? Who played each part..? Where can I obtain such talent, within my budget, and legally, if possible..? (NB I have no soul to sell, and my kidneys are almost worthless, even to myself, but I'm willing to discuss...) I couldn't change my vote; serves me right for diving in too early, but I would have, honest..! Edited March 31, 2020 by Dad3353 Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Aw, thanks Douglas. Drums are a 60s British Rogers kit, mostly Paiste 2002 and signature cymbals. My friend Rob put the track together using Band in a Box, but with a lot of tweaking to the standard output and mixed several different renderings to arrive at this take. I didn't have access to all the stems when I put the drums on and it's too late to remix it now, so it's as-is! 1 Quote

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Ha! Talking about the gear not the playing. I'm making it a mission to improve my drumming during this enforced break from sports, I did my first rudiment yesterday! 1 Quote

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 In at the end and voted. Still time for someone to redact their vote and vote for me 1 Quote
