Nice playing, not crazy about tone, almost sounds a bit out fo tune.

The bass was in tune - tuned it immediately before playing. The only effect was compression.
A lot of Soft Cell sounds a bit out - I think it’s a function of Marc Almond’s voice!

Thanks John!
Thanks, I’ve been messing with slapping the fretless the last few months. It’s a weird but cool sound in it’s own way. Also, it’s the only bass I have at the moment, Fernandes is loaned to a friend, sold the Schecter cuz I wasn’t playing it.

Ummmm, experiments in tone. After a bit of feedback from @John_E , I had another listen to this mornings cover and thought, umm, I’m not sure I like that! I’d double tracked the bass line and it sounded messy. So I’ve had another go.
This time, it’s a single bass line with some compresson, phaser and chorus on it. It sounds cleaner (no bouncing of notes from slightly out of synch tracks) and I have placed it further back in the mix, so it is not so dominating.
I’m happier with it, but it’s still not perfect!
Lessons:
- Don’t rush to publish a track - I was under pressure this morning as we had family stuff to do
- If doubling tracks, it’s important get them perfectly in sync - hard, time consuming, but ultimately worth it.
- Listen to feedback!

That was awesome Dan! Slapping is one technique I don’t think I’ll ever master. You make it look too easy.

That felt like a Buzz Bomb! The 1/4 note phrasing really sets up the 1/8 note bombardments!

And yeah… lots of club memories attached to that one.

Valentine’s is round the corner and Ed is feeling a bit soppy. So today I bring you Daydream Believer by the Monkees 
The Hofner was perfect for this - just the AG750 sim on the Zoom

Awesome! Well done. Always loved that song for some reason, probably the Shonen Knife cover.
Believe it or not, I hear this all the time. Usually a muzak version though, 7-11 here uses it as a jingle.
