Title: I'm On a Hit in the UK!
Post by: GonzoBass on September 21, 2014, 03:07:24 PM
It seems that a CD I did some tracks for here,
has apparently caught on over there-

To have a listen to "Forgotten Reef" for yourself
(along with other mp3s from the new CD "Portrait"),
you could visit Jeff's site-

...and if you like what you hear,
maybe you could help us out by taking a second to cast your much appreciated vote?

Gonzo, this is awesome news - is it a hit on official radio charts, or on a digital radio station playlist?

I believe this is the top ten playlist for that particular station Mark
but I know the CD is getting airplay elsewhere too.

Nice playing, but did I hear some slapping?  :mrgreen:

I'm not clear about the vote process and neither is the website. What do I have to do exactly? Spell it out.

I'm jealous...that bass track is awesome! 

So clean, and such a good relaxed time-feel...

Very cool, sounds great! What bass did you use?
Title: Re: I'm On a Hit in the UK!
Post by: GonzoBass on October 17, 2014, 06:51:34 PM
Thanks for the comments guys!

All the tracks I did for Jeff were recorded with my trusty workhorse Steinberger XP2
(we're coming up on 30 years togther and it's still my weapon of choice).
It's ran direct, using a George L cable, with old/boiled strings in drop D tuning.

...and yes, there's a bit of thumb on there Uwe.
 ;)

I was happy with the bass heavy mix and the tone.
It might have a lot to do with the fact that this CD was mastered by Steve Hall at Future Disc,
if that name rings any bells
and if it doesn't, check him out-
Steve's Bio (http://www.futurediscsystems.com/Steves_Bio.html)
Steve's Discography!!! (http://www.futurediscsystems.com/Discography.html)

He's my new hero.
