[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436269060' post='2816530'] My last few recording projects bored the crap out of me - all this recording by committee and fiddling about endlessly for hours got right on my boobies!! So having been left to my own devices today, here's my entry for this months competition. It's based on a combination of drum loops and other drum bits and pieces I had lying around. Start to finish it took forty minutes. The bass (Marathon) is live, one take, warts and all - as is the guitar (Harley Benton Strat). I deliberately didn't go back in to fix any timings, bum notes or anything else, so if you like your music very organised and perfectly played and recorded, you're going to be a bit disappointed! (I'm looking at YOU, The Eagles...) However... hopefully I've retained something of the energy and freshness that compositions can have initially, but which then gets lost through over-zealous turd-polishing, otherwise known as 'post-production' ...

Hope it all lives up to your expectations. Have a very fine day

No worries mate.

There's one up this way Fran. the Amp workshop. I can't do the link thing at the mo, sorry. In Stevenage I think

Be a good plan to let us know where you are located Good luck. Love a bit of Humble Pie.

It seems odd saying hello and welcome to a BC'er with 211 posts but hello and welcome

I can't join in. We don't wear shorts and never would.

I'm with Mr. Apple on this one

Another BC'er that I am happy to recommend. Good communication, very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

That is a sorry sight If it could be negotiated down a little more, it wouldn't be a bad price. Finish off the stripping process and assuming the wood was decent a few coats of oil and it might look quite fine.

That is a superb looking instrument, a long wait but ultimately worth it.

Yes, know exactly what you mean. I have to make a real concerted effort to just listen and enjoy.

He could certainly lay down a groove, loved his style

I keep a TC BH250 in my gig bag as a just in case, hasn't been needed yet but sooner or later I'm sure it will be. For me, it feels like a wisely spent £200. I've also got a DI pedal MXR80 which is a brilliant piece of kit.

That's better. Great work.

That's better, looks handsome.

I can't see how it could fail to the point of the bass falling any other way... [/quote] Kev, don't know why I didn't reply to this at the time. The failure was caused by wear, upon close inspection it was just possible to make out. Have to say, they had served me well for a good few years but it was enough to put me off. Since the Schaller fail, I've just been using the pink grolsh type rubber washers. Purchased a dozen or so for a couple of quid, from one of the home brew sellers on Ebay. So far, so brilliant. Another thing I like, is that there is no risk of wacking the bass with the strap lock when attaching/removing the strap at a gig.

Well said Chris.
