Stating working on my 2nd album and here is an idea for it. It blends different techniques and has some time signature changes.

Hope you guys dig it

Cheers bass bro's,

Sounds wicked Andy

I have no criticism whatsoever to offer - my only suggestion in terms of a track would be to integrate another part, keyoard or guiair, to take the ideas even further sonically - I think you've completely developed your own style and sound and it grooves great as well - so all I can add is that to see you develop musically it would be awesome to hear some of the lovely harmonic things expanded and or doubled - but I'm sure you're capable of doing that yourself.

I only say this as while this music obviously appeals to us bass heads it's also good to think about reaching out to non-bass types as well - but it's all there and I really love the development of your ideas - the end section was my fave - really cool.

One question: are the drums live or progammed? Either way - nice work.

Cheers

Mike

I often contemplate adding other instruments to my tracks and over dubbing more bass parts but I want to get across what I am actually doing in one single performance. This way I feel begginner bass players can see what is possible on the instrument.

However! I am taking a bold step and I am writing songs for a new rock band I'm gonna form (maybe 3 peice) and front (lead vocals) It will involve my own style of playing but in a much simpler form - to enable me to sing at the same time! (hopefully in tune)

I have always appreciated your constructive feedback in the past so I will be sure to send you an MP3 or 2!

Regards,
Andy
