@Leonard Smalls Clever the way you spliced menacing with euphoric vibes. Cool track.

Time to launch the power boat and tear about skimming the waves (watching out for surfers not). https://on.soundcloud.com/t6WHqInScsnszHvFov Drums: Samples. Cymbals: MT POWER DrumKit 2. Bass: Spector EMG-SSD. Split the bass channel in two:- Ch1 - Sub Ch2 - Mids and upper frequencies through all modulators of all types, automated. Strings: Soundpaint. Synths: Serum V1 DAW: Ableton V9 with stock effects.

@Baloney Balderdash It's a sonic monster. Fantastic. Again, all original style. I'm a fan.

Thank you for the votes. I got lucky this time. See you all for the next round. I was inspired recently when fishing at a wonderful village called Olhos de Agua on the Algarve. I took a photo and think it would be very suitable to inspire us again to create. te he.

I couldn't resist making a track about air fryers either. Production: Ableton v9 | Line 6 GX with POD Farm | DT 770 PRO Drums & claps - Found some drum samples and put them in the drum rack. Bass - Spector EMG-SSD through virtual constrictor(compressor) > Ampeg > 8 x 10 Strings - Disco strings VST Guitar - Jackson V > modulated Organ - Kontact stock organ through JCM 800 Vocal sample - Air fryer lady from internet > echo.

@Chiliwailer Great the way this evolves. Good solid sound too. @Baloney Balderdash Intense and unique. Masterful stuff. @Leonard Smalls Huge dreamy funky sound, and cool vocal track. @Jean-Luc Pickguard Effortlessly flows though an uplifting journey. @lurksalot Vibes like a live performance. Great energy. Cool track.

Hello. 14 year is a long time. I can only manage about an hour and a half maximum.

Hello.

@Jean-Luc Pickguard Your track is a shimmering wonder. The percussive elements are fantastic. I like the production all round. Nice stereo and mix. It made me smile and I felt pretty calm afterwards.

@MoonBassAlpha Track goes together well, moves through and keeps interesting. Good sounds too. Bass came out well. I like the mid drive sound, it's live sounding and has even weight low and high. It's original too. Nice work. @upside downer Good mix. The slury synth bass riff makes my head go funny, in a good way, and so does the arrangement and phrasing. It has good drive and evolves as it goes with some subtle surprises. I enjoyed it.

Great. Thank you everyone. I was worried about gauge, now I'm also worried if I'll chose the right, gauge, tension, winding type, texture, core shape, material, coating, brand, and probably price? Are flat wounds even legal on a Spector?

Finding the great all-round 'one bass does it all' setup is proving difficult As I understand it, flats tend to have thicker cores than round wound, because there is more space to fill inside the coil? This would give them more tension. Does that sound right? Experimenting looks expensive. How did you find out they were the strings that worked best?

I've had my music described as 'somewhere between Country and Rap'. I'm consistent.
