Hello for the first time, ya'll. I've had my BR since Christmas and it is my GameBoy. No doubt. Here is something I'd been trying to work out with  some friends. After I started sleeping with "The Boss", I stopped calling my friends for jam sessions. I miss them sometimes. Like, when I need a Bass player.  Of course, tell me what you think and how you feel.
Thanks, Thom

Thats gonna sound great with bass added. Get yourself a cheap one mate, Thomman has lots. You ban beef the sound up with the BR if needed.

This is very good!

The mix is nice, the sounds are great, your guitar rocks. A question: Did you need to bounce?

I would like to hear some vocals on it. A bass would be cool, but this song is crying for some vocals. Give it a go!
Also, the drum arrangement is very well accomplished, it blends in and almost sounds organic.

Good work my friend!

PS: Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the compliment Admin. No, I didn't have to bounce. What I did do was Pan the left Rhythm guitar while mastering. I was looking for a short cut and that one worked out. So there's only four tracks-left rhythm guitar, right rhythm guitar, the lead is 3 and 4. The guitar is a 1981 Washburn chicago series;It was very cheap then and very cheap now. The pickups are close and hot thus the chirping. The rhythm and drums section of the Miro BR is my game boy. 'Surfing to Penzing' took all of 47 steps in 98(rhythm) measures to finish. I rearranged everything on paper three different times before it came out under 50 steps(the max num. for the BR).
    I'd played this song on stage five or six different times with the same band before I bought the Micro BR. We'd never gotten the drums worked out, but I always knew how I wanted it to sound, minus the lead melody. When I first came up with the idea, vocals were in my head. I heard a kind of Lou reed chanting thing; he's a rider and a runner he's the driver in your mirror da da di di da da di di...       That was a year ago. Now I'm having trouble getting back into the vocals part of the song. I really love it the way it is and part of me is lazy. The bass will be the kicker for this song though. That was the drive from the beginning. I simply don't have the skill and equipment to finish it alone. So, there. Pardon me, but sometimes I act like I think I know what I'm talking about.

Guitarron, did you or anyone else do the bass for this ... maybe I missed it.

Thom, this and Stuart's Song are very very good.
