Title: Sound O Ric
Post by: gearHed289 on October 05, 2011, 01:53:11 PM

I recently had the pleasure of adding bass tracks to a project called Lunation. Their album "Restless" was released yesterday, and I'm REALLY happy with the results. Half the tracks were already finished (with keyboard bass) when I came on board, but I got to do my thing on seven tracks, including:

3. Unscrupulous
5. Wash All Over You
8. Confusion
9. I'm Still Alone
10. One of Some
11. A Different Day
14. Restless

3, 5, and 10 are the 4003S. 8 is my 4001CS. 9 and 11 my Kramer fretless, and 14 my Guild Pilot 5 string. We utilized Dropbox to exchange files, and I did everything on my Pro Tools rig at my house. Gotta love technology! I ran everything but the fretless through a Sadowsky pre amp for some bass and treble boost, and tracked with a Chris Lord-Alge compressor plug-in insert. You can hear samples at the link below. Thanks for listening!

That is actually very nice and I don't mean just the  - as always exquisitely played - bass!!! When will the CD be actually available? Sign me up for it.

Thanks Uwe, I appreciate it! As soon as I heard one song, I knew I wanted to play bass on it. You can buy either physical product, or mp3 download right from the cdbaby link.

I'm going to seek permission to include a song on the LBO CD.

Thank you! That is the epic closing track. I played my 80s Guild Pilot 5 string on that particular track, tuned down a 1/2 step I believe. The stock EMGs have been replaced with Duncan passive pups.
