New toy, same old game

By djippy on September 29, 2024 6:50 pm

I purchased a new (to me) Fender Jazz bass last week. So plan was to do a track with only that and drums.

So bass only plus drums (and a gong patch from Ableton) this week. Another 6-8 time signature track as it works good with some "stoner ish rock".

Not sure how to describe it, but this feels relentless, melancholic and badass all at the same time. Super cool, great job! Also, congrats on the new toy! You're clearly already making great use of it smile

that's so cool, congrats on the new instrument! I want one toooooo big_smile

I bet if you played this minor key song to stoners, they would freak the fuck out.

Such menacing crawl of a track. The tension is palpable! Very effective mood setting.

Great sound of the Fender Jazzbass. It is a dream. And the drums I like too. How many mics do you use for the recording?

oh hell yes, djippy! that J-bass sounds so tasty. a great match for your menacing drum part.
congrats on the new addition

Hey, I do have my little guit amp and another mic on the kick, snare and toms are closed mics and I do have L and R overheads for a total of 8 mics (if I do count the speaker of my amp a mic).

Thanks a lot for the comments all, will take some time to listen to your tracks later!

Love the sound of that bass with the bad ass drums.  Ooof the mix as well sounds great.  Hearing all the elements of the kit, feels like I'm sitting in the room with you.  Those cymbals splashing with the bass \m/
