Salt Flats

So this week I won a bass from Warwick Australia, and after doing a bit of a setup job on it today (though it still needs a bit more work), I thought I'd give it a work out for my weekly beat. Plenty of mistakes, but I think it is a pretty fun little jam. It's two tracks of this acoustic bass. Pretty neat to score the bass! But yes, a bit rough around the edges, but overall, happy with it. I'm sure I could mix it better but to be honest I just can't be bothered. Have spent the last two nights until way past my bed time recording with my band in a warehouse. Awesome!

Have a good xmas y'all.

That's cool... doesn't really sound like what I'd expect from a bass.  Nice strumming, picking and melodic passes.  Merry Christmas!

Aye, acoustic basses are a bit of a different beast to electric ones, and different also from uprights! Merry xmas to you, also!

Well performed.  I like the warm tone that comes off an acoustic bass.  The tone of the melody (before you slide) almost sounds fretless sometimes.

Nathan: thanks!
cTrix: Cheers man, not bad for second take. Yeah that technique I learned years and years ago. "How to make a fretted sound fretless, 101". ;D
Rdomain: 'Twas, and still is! Thanks! Also thanks!
