A little bass solo section from a work in progress using the Scarbee Fingered J-Bass. I purposely left in some real-time slop to try and keep it real, but is it TOO sloppy??

Too sloppy? Not a bit. Call it done. :)

(Nice job, BTW!)

WOW!:eek:
Oh yea Fred. Real sloppy.:p
What you call sloppy, I bet John Patitucci, Geddy Lee, and Jaco would call a "Take"

P.S. Yea! You fixed your Mp3 tags!;) :D

It's cool, but I know local players around here that wouldn't accept that as a finished take. They'd either do punch ins because of the timing issues or they'd tell the engineer to slice and dice the problem areas into place.

Thanks Thomas!! It's a great lib- one that really makes you want to play!! OK, we have one vote for not tight enough :D I was getting all comfy until that *lol* I appreciate the positive feedback (and the critical feedback as well!)

I have a question about this being rather unfamiliar with basses etc and given scarbee is having a sale in 2 days.

Do you need a bass amp simulator for this kind of thing? Is it necessary or beneficial to have one? Just curious, as i have amplitube 2 with its bass amp stuff but could also get ampeg as well if it would benefit this library at all.

thanks

Keepin the faith...(meant in a totally complimentary way). Quoting an earlier post it brings back Jaco and such... or continues it... however you choose.

Very nice. A lot of Fun.

Slop est Gewd!

I would say... no, you don't need one, just adding some compression and EQ will give a good sound, but it will be an older, "into the board" sound. To get a modern sound, or any kind of grit you need to run it into something. Guitar stuff seems to do quite well, so I bet Amplitube would work great.

Did you use any processing on this particular piece, or is this how it sounds right out of the box?

I ran it through a SansAmp bass DI. It's not a radical difference in sound, but it's a bit more "ampy". :D

Fred -

Fantastic! I love the vibe on this, really neat. Elec piano part is dynamite. Wasn't in love with the pads, a little too synth-stringy for me, but that might be the mp3 don't know. Incredible 'bass' playing. I just want to hear more - add some changes, dude, let us hear more!

Thanks!! The strings are intentionally ARP/Solina sounding- I'm trying to make all the sounds on the album vintage 70's. The Stylus loop in this part is the only real breaking of that rule (and hey, it *could* have been a mutated analog drum machine, right??) :D
