Now all the bass is layed down! Got a pretty solid and nice sound from Jesses rig!
Very nice stuff, there's truly a groove going on! Excellent playing! A+ to Jesse!!
Jesse used his five string Sadowsky bass, fingerpicking -> Aguilar DI -> blend in a Ibanez Phat Head -> Aguilar amp head -> Aguilar cab. Four tracks, clean DI (for lows), dirty direct out from the head, Shure SM57 on the cabs tweeter and a Shure PG52 on the speaker. Pretty simple and straightfoward setup and very What-You-Get-Is-WHat-You-Hear approach as usual, i.e. no amp sims or any trickery.
We also used a fretless bass on two songs. One was completely with a fretless, the other one was a small fretless-bass solo overdub. Otherwise it was all about the Sadowsky. Very good bass, the DI signal is straight out of the box perfect. Can imagine you could easily record with just the bass, no amp and it'd be perfect without any eq or trickery! Awesome preamp in the bass!
Now it's just to record the backing vocals, some additional keyboards & guitars, organize and tidy up the orchestral arrangements and then it's just the mix! Got a little bit started on it when I did a 2 song promo demo off two songs.
The tracklist is also 99% ready as is the album title! Spent some time in York, England, where my gf lives. As I was strolling around town, listening to "Fair To Midland", the title popped up in my head. Voilá! Eureka! Carpe diem! Perkele!
I won't tell you what it is yet! :P
Some song names to chew on (of songs we've played live so far); "Thin White Lines", "The One Behind The Mirror", "Promise Me", "Drag Me Down To Hell", "Walls Are Whispering", "Nothing To Regret", "We'll Be There" and more...
Sorry to tease you guys and girls but more info when it's 100% :P
