@TK4261 lovely, lovely, lovely Warmoth basses! If you ever decide you need to move one on... let me know

@therealting might be difficult to do some octave slappin' & poppin' on that thing! 😆

There's some absolute beauties on this thread! I'm going to have to start saving to get a custom build if I don't find an Aerodyne medium-scale soon!

There’s a few people looking specifically for 32” / medium scale basses, so you might have a bit of luck listing it separately or posting a link in here:

Beast! Enjoy the Westone thump!

Saw that tele-bass listed and it looks a nice little beast! Happy to hear you are enjoying the medium scale world!

I love the look of this beast... but I'm looking for a 32" scale! 

Good luck.

Yes, I found that there's barely any difference in tension between 34" and 32". Dropping that extra 2" to 30" is very different though! 

Glad you are enjoying the new toy.

Yes, I saw that they had added one to their collection. Thanks for posting the video - what a terrible advert 😂

I do like a maple neck, but only really like guitars in black or white, which somehow aren't catered for with this new range!

It's nice and slim - 38mm - like a jazz.

I picked up a Westone Concord on here a few years back. It had been around the block, but feels lovely to play as it’s just that bit lighter and easier on the fretting fingers! The action is quite high on mine, but that’s fine as I use it for rumbly-punk sounds. Maple board is slick, and the PUPs are nice, load, and boomy. 

Lovely little basses - nice sound, very lightweight and easy to play. A steal at £100! Shame I don’t need two 😆

Ahhhh... if this had been up for sale last year I would have snapped your hand off! Instead, I bought my wife a digital piano with the money raised from old gear sales. Big regret! 

GLWTS.

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]To give a little more background, this was my first venture into the world of DAW recording and mixing having previously done everything on an old 8-track Tascam unit. Composition-wise, I pulled together a set of short and fast songs I had written over the years that ranged from some brand new material to what was my very first stab at writing a song from 20 years ago (track 3), albeit with new lyrics and a slight arrangement change... if a three-chord song really has an arrangement ! I'm forever starting things and leaving them unfinished, so my goal with this album was to keep everything as simple as possible and see if I could finally come out with a finished project that would give me the opportunity to learn the DAW as I went along.

I don't have any engineering training, but enjoy reading about engineering and production in Sound On Sound and the like. The creative process is what interests me most, and I've come to realize that mixing is very much a part of that. All the guitars and bass parts were recorded through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 using Logic's amp simulators, with a reliance on pre-sets for much of the plugins when mixing. I didn't record any amp sounds - everything was DI'd. Vocals were through a cheap and cheerful T-Bone SC 300 large diaphragm microphone (£30 at Thomann!) in my untreated bedroom. Once I was happy with a mix, I exported the song as a wave file then put it back into Logic and used the mastering plugin for a bit of EQ and loudness. I didn't really do much extra at this stage other than a multi-pressor and stereo-widening.

In terms of performance, I actually recorded and played everything myself...... although the magic of the consistent dum sound is courtesy of Logic's very helpful drummer option. I do dabble in drums and I have an electronic kit, but thought I'd keep this project simple and save the headaches of quantizing my loose-limbed playing for the next album! I'm not a vocalist and never have been. In fact, I've always been very self-conscious about any singing, even karaoke or backing vocals in my old bands. I tried to find someone who might be keen to do the vocals but realized that, actually, the best thing I could do was get over my fear and do it myself. I know they aren't particularly strong, but it has definitely given me a lot more confidence. I consciously tried to bury the vocals in the mix because they are the weakest part of the songs.

Once it was done, I contacted a couple of labels whose stuff I listen to online and heard back from Jigsaw Records, a tiny shop/label in Seattle who agreed to put it out. I'm really happy that I finally got something done and have my record up on the streaming sites and available on CD... so that goal has been realized. I'm also pleased that I've learned quite a bit from the process and am still learning now through your comments. Two big areas for me to follow-up and address on my second album will be:[/font][list]
[*][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Be braver with the levels and FX used on my vocals - maybe take more care and time over recording them.. layering/background vocals etc... and maybe some vocal lessons![/font]
[*][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Learn more about EQing and how to bring out certain parts in a mix, especially mid and low range. Hi and low pass filters are on my lesson plan![/font]
[*][font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][color="#34495e"]Be more adventurous in arrangements and writing choices, adding some variation on the old verse/chorus/verse. [/color][/font]
[/list]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Finally, thanks again for your input![/font]
