Title: Gone crazy ... but still miss a Guitar
Post by: Crosseyed on August 26, 2008, 03:38:22 AM
Hi you all,

In a previous post I mentioned a little crazy tune that needs a guitar part. Here it is... ;D

It's quite crazy and not so serious so  ;) ... if you got any ideas I will be glad to hear.

Damn, there are times when it almost sounds like an old Alembic bass.  Perhaps I'll give a run at it this weekend.

Cool slap & pop technique, it kinda reminds me of Bill Evans funk grooves from Bass Jams.

The day started fine.  I was enthused.  I pulled out my Strat, dialed in a super clean tone, got some compression going, and then repeatedly butchered your tune.  Ugh.

Each time I put something funky down, it made the whole piece just way too busy.  I kept simplifying until there was nothing left.  I settled for a subtle arpeggiator and some wanky, distorted solos.

Perhaps somebody with more soul than myself would care to take a stab at a vocal.

Peace.

 :) I really like the heavy solo's . The arpergio is also a nice touch.
I'm curious how yur funky guitar piece would have sounded.

Great  ;D

You're one hell of a bass player. Serious hard funk! Great tone too.

Thanks for the kind words, it's makes me shy :)
I'm just practising some noodles and licks and record it as good and bad as I can.  :o

Good playing like that doesn't need any dressing up with sophisticated recording techniques...

Dude, you've got a brazilian fan! Definitely. Is your bass a Squier by Fender JB isn't? Really nice sound!

Thanks  ;D ... The bass you hear is a (nearly) stock squier vintage modified jazzbass. I only modified the pots and the capacitor from the tone control. Recorded direct into the Mb-r. No tricks :)

It's nice to hear music from early days of Songcrafters.

Really good funky bass playing! I liked Blooby's addition as well!
