I could not get Alicia's to play. I dig The Disappointments ! Reminds me a bit of Fountains of Wayne.

My new CD is now done, along with my previous EP here :

Glen Wall - you are my hero.

I love the Replacements Let It Be era.

Here's a couple of rehearsal things for you:

My now defunct band Atacama, with something called Behind the Silence. This is an edited down version of a 14 minute song. Features Phil on keys & Paul on drums. We'd just fired the guitarist. Phil wrote this. Oh, the bass is a 4001CS which is driving the pre-amp more than normal as my wireless battery had gone flat and I was going in by cable (which had a higher output).

Here's one from my other band recorded at a Feb 2005 rehearsal that I'll probably regret posting, as being a Rush song, I'm leaving myself open for a fair bit of criticism. Guitarist Ian fluffed the solo and drummer Andy was still working it out and played a few weird things. Mind you, so did I

. Despite all this, for some reason, I do like this recording. The bass is a 4003.

Hi Billy - Welcome to the forum. Nice stuff on our Myspace page.

Hey Billy & Jon - Good stuff! Nice production on the guitars all around.

Billy - nice tight crafty pop. Great vocal melodies, too. What year is your guitar?

Jon - the bass is THUNDEROUS, very prominent in the mix, as all bass should be, of course. What kind of amp/gear were you using for the recordings? Also, I liked the synth voices at the end of 'Behind The Silence.' It put me in the mind of the lush voicings on 'I'm Not In love.'

Nice stuff, guys. Here's a glimpse of my latest posts:

Wow. Thanks, Steve. Gotta love the Mats.

The Tonighters are happening.

Thanks for the comments Mark. I’ll have a listen to yours when I get home…

A friend once said to me, “you can tell who did the mixing”, so although I try not to, I guess I do favour the bass a bit. I chose these recordings because the Rickenbackers were relatively to the fore.

I never thought about those voice sounds in BTS before, but I hear what you mean. One of Phil’s keyboards was a Korg Triton and I’m pretty sure they came from that, but they were not factory patches.

The bass on BTS was running through my little 300W Ashdown ABM C-115 combo. As I mentioned, this sounds grittier than normal because I usually roll off the gain a little on my wireless. This was recorded in a converted oast house and everything spilled onto the drum tracks, because I let someone else put the microphones on the drums. This made things a bit tricky for mixing.

The bass on Red Barchetta was running through whatever was in the rehearsal room – I’m pretty sure it was a Laney RBH 800. In both cases, for recording I was taking a line out of the amp rather than putting microphones on the cabs.

Interesting, Jon. The grit from the Ashdown sounds great. I've always liked a little distortion, myself.

Shout out to Steve - I tried listening to your samples, but my computer can't figure out certain types of Quicktime files. I haven't figured out that glitch yet. Any stuff posted in a different format?
