What are you listening to right now?

Splitting out a dry bass track and mixing it with the effected one is a pretty common technique for sure. In fact it’s one reason I always record dry and do any effects in the DAW.

My bandmate and I recorded both the bass and guitar here completely dry:

Check out how they sound dry :rofl:

Anyway, mixing the dry tracks in to the effected can add body and tone, works nicely.

Love how the beat starts moving at :55 and never seems to settle down

I love the groove on this one.

Just picked up Tony Levin’s new solo album (his first since 2007). I’m not usually crazy about his solo/side project work, but this is really good and a cool concept. He plays his favorite basses on different songs and (in the liner notes) talks about each bass and its significance to him and its sound. I love liner notes.

Wow… amazing. Can’t imagine watching live

Good choice, all things Tony are great…
I’ve been on a playing Tony kick for the last couple months, lots of the Peter Gabriel days and the King Crimson era.
I will be checking this album out today and posting my favs on songster. :jbass: :sunglasses:

Love this album and the title track (first one that plays) is so badass. This is definitely one on my learn to play list.

It’s my second favorite Hüsker Dü album; I still listen to it all the time. Love that they opened it with one of Bob’s bangers, but for me the best song on there is “The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill”.

For a bass cover someone should do “Terms of Psychic Warfare” though, which also reminds me to see if I can find out what is up with Greg Norton’s cancer.

Totally agree. I think someone who’s name starts with @howard should give it a go.

I was listening to Dead Milkmen the other day thinking they had some great bass lines also.

Hmm, would be our second Dü cover. I’ll run it by my bandmate, he’s coming to visit again in about a month.
