Gust0o Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Aw man, for a magical moment I thought you'd read the thread on pick playing and decided to try my [i]drag your dick on the strings [/i]technique - in which case, this was the best thread ever, with a title which worked on all levels! However, containing my disappointment, I thought it was a great little riff! I'll be honest, for me, that would have gone in the "tricky" pile - kinda tough, but sounding really fun Nice work Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismanbass Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 na thats how i play slap bass mate yeh trouble is i didnt write it n just got played it in the studio n told to play it took about 20 takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well, the joy of recording... you wouldn't know it took 20 takes! Are you expecting to play it live, too? That's always my concern when we demo something, [i]"Ok, I've got it now... can I do it after four pints and in front of punters?"[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Jack Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I would definitely consider it hard, and being handed it in the studio I wouldn't have had much of a chance, but then that's probably why I'm not in the studio Thank God for punch ins, eh?

Chrismanbass Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 na just a session job mate of mine runs a studio so i get called in regularly to play on stuff for his clients Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I liked that intro (and the rest of the track). Not sure i could pull it off live but with the magic of the modern recording studio i'd have a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thats the sh*t! Reminds me of some of The Santana Brothers work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Other than just songs I've fancied covering I'd have to say this http://m.soundcloud.com/wullieliddell/demosong1-rough It's just really unusual patterns for me and tuning. No bass track yet though, still in the process of learning it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nah, piece of cake! I [i]would[/i] need a bit of notice though, to be quite honest. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Sorry to be a dissenter, but I'd get someone to sequence it. I could do it [i]very[/i] eventually, but I fear couldn'tbebothereditis would cut in first. Maybe I'm just too old, or care too little, but the whole thing already sounds over-processed to my ears. What would a "live" bass sound contribute to that that a synthetic one wouldn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismanbass Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 yeh i see what you mean however the idea was that i was doubling the synth part to make it meatier as the key bass part sounds quite thin on the track but hey ho its not my music so oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Won't play and is marked as private. Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismanbass Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 not sure i noticed that however its playing for me ok (its not my soundcloud) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nice Needed to up your bass in the mix though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Haha I like it! Makes me think of walking through a Moroccan restaurant and into a funk gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayben Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Tricky, I certainly wouldn't be comfortable having it chucked at me to play off the bat in the studio.. A couple of days hard practice would easily sort it though, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 nice - the intro sounds very brand-x - i like the bass in the break at 1:11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Great work, given somewhat a challenge and rising to the occasion is what makes us better each time and you've certainly succeeded, sounds great. [attachment=113529:01 - Seventh Heaven.mp3] Reminds me of this track recorded live by The Fellowship with Seth Govan on bass. When I see him play it either makes me want to get on and practice or stick my gear on ebay. oh dear, ignore that file; how do you attach music?

jackers Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 wow, that sounds awesome I'm loving the groove. That would be something I really fancy giving a shot, I don't suppose you could post the pdf up/pm it to me could you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I used to play the flute (well, I guess I still do but I don't play regularly anymore). When I was a teenager, I played in a big band and for one gig we were doing a suite of music written specially for the band. In one of the pieces, there was a really tricky two bar passage in the flute part. When he was handing out the music, the composer spoke to me and said "yeah, look out for this part, its quite tricky, but I showed it to one of the flautists in the RSNO* and she said it was just about playable..." Needless to say it took me a few attempts to get even close to nailing it... *Royal Scottish National Orchestra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
