Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Went in the studio on Sunday to cut a demo with the new band.

We're doing pubs/clubs and functions at the mo, but intend to do some of our own stuff in the new year.

In the meantime, we do like to play around with songs a bit - wherever possible, I always try to create my own bass parts to make things a bit more ours.

We used the same engineer as my last band's demo last December. I always insist he makes space for the Rics!

All tracks were (of course) done with a Ric - 1st two with the MG 2010, 2nd two with the JG 2009, both strung wth D'addario Chromes. I'm really happy with my bass tone....I put a lot down to my recent conversion to flats - they really give me the tone I always wanted!

I enjoyed Moving to NY and your tone

Sounds great, Iain! The flats on your 4003 does sit really nice in the mixes.

very nice,sir! and the strings seem to get the best of both schools (flats/rounds). are you picking or playing fingerstyle? regardless,it sounds great!

Cool songs and great sound Iain!

Sounds good. Thanks for sharing

Very nice! Great tone from those chromes!

Thanks everyone - appreciate your kind comments. Happy to share, and to hear what everyone thinks.

I used a pick on all 4 tracks - just love that Ric 'n' pic combination!

I'm really happy with how they turned out - I can't imagine any other bass having so much presence.

....and I always think it makes me sound like a proper bass player!
