My bass "audition"
I don't know how many of you have heard about the Queen Extravaganza thing (http://www.queenextravaganza.com), but here is my audition for it, using my 4001. I originally used my 4004, but got a little paranoid about it buzzing too much (I don't think it was) and redid it with this one and I think it turned out a little bit better. My wife liked this one better, anyway, so it is the one that got posted.

Re: My bass "audition"
Great stuff! I wish I'd done that song.
I sent a video too. Not real happy with the groove, but it's OK. The 4001CS is pretty nice though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD3SI1-uUrU

That was a great cut! I was hoping to do Seaven Seas of Rhye, but I couldn't really figure out the guitar solo part, so I went with Somebody to Love. Nice tone on that CS, too.

I think rics were nicely represented.

My friend Richie made it to the 2nd round, for the guitar position. Go vote for him!
Re: My bass "audition"
Some guy from my area made it to the second round on drums. I saw it on the news.

Re: My bass "audition"
Hey, thanks Paul! I actually played 2 shows the day before, so I threw on my stage clothes from the night before. LOL! I was really jittery by the time I got the audio and lighting at least halfway usable. Ugh... So bummed I didn't play better. Been playing lousy pop covers for too long. Time to woodshed!
My friend's bro Gary Guzman made it to round 2 on guitar! He's a real talent.
