Just vote for who you think is the better slapper, I think!

i voted for sheephead, it seemed very well put together, and i liked his tone better. flea_slap_god's tone seemed a little too tinny for slap.

Akira · 07-31-2006, 09:08 AM

Sheep: At least on my comp, was getting a horrible high-pitched buzzy sort of noise all the way through. That said, good tone. Your entry demonstrates the best slap chops I have heard in this contest so far. I really like how you feel comfortable enough to not have to use a ton of layers to cover up for lackluster individual layers. But it didn't feel that much like a song.

Flea: Tinny tone, but I actually liked it. I liked your groove. A little awkward at times though. Felt pretty repetetive.The slapping is good though.

I can't decide which song I prefer, so I am going to go with sheephead just on terms of chops.

Smokin' cowboys · 07-31-2006, 09:09 AM

not a massive fan of either songs. I went for -flea_slap_god in the end because i prefered the tone.

I went with flea_slap_god, sheepheads sounded messy to me and just didn't groove as well as the other. Both would have benefitted from drums imo.

Thanks dude. Yeah, the high pitched thing is probably down to the poor recording quality. It's cos of that I tend to just do solo bass - believe me I'd love to multitrack! But we make do with the things we have!

Akira · 07-31-2006, 09:16 AM

I felt that the fact that it was solo was really fresh. Generally in these bass comps people have a bunch of layers and effects, it is nice to here something more clean.

Got into flea_slap_gods better, and I think I preferred the tone.

peeted · 07-31-2006, 10:16 AM

hmm, sheepheads is a much more complex groove, flea slap gods was more simple etc but it had that realy ace lil effect in the background....

i think fsg JUST gets it, very hard one though.

Belfast Bassist · 07-31-2006, 10:25 AM

Sheepheads had some riffs i liked, and tone was much beefier which was a big factor. So i went for Sheephead

+1

I found both the songs to be unorganized but i really digged Sheepheads tone

sheephead · 07-31-2006, 05:45 PM

Man this is intense!

Ting · 07-31-2006, 06:19 PM

Hard choice, but Sheephead gets my vote.

faelun · 07-31-2006, 06:57 PM

flea for me..though i didn't like either all that much

sheephead · 08-01-2006, 12:07 PM

I'm gonna regret it since this, but BUMP.

tim_commerfordism · 08-01-2006, 12:11 PM

This is so close!

the101er · 08-01-2006, 12:14 PM

Sheephead. I just prefered the song tbh, sorry I can't be more constructive

ebe9 · 08-01-2006, 12:44 PM

To Sheephead:

A good piece. A little "wanky" at points, but well balanced. I liked the "rolling" like slap rhythm you got going for a few seconds about three quarters of the way in.

To flea_slap_god:

A very nice piece. A good solid groove and great to listen too. I did find the tone a little to treble friendly. All in all, very nice.

My vote goes to flea_slap_god, because I enjoyed the groove of his more.

Spazzout22 · 08-01-2006, 01:02 PM

Sheephead:

From all the other stuff on your sound click, I was expecting some mad chops. And I got them. I really liked the fact that your entry was very simplistic in the texture, but ballanced different sounds and colors really well. If I had to choose a complaint about your song, it's that the whole thing sounded like a solo (albeit a very good one). I was looking for a discernable melody. Over all, a very nice piece.

Flea: I liked the different effects with the pedals. My complaint with yours is almost the same as with sheephead's: to me, it kinda sounded like a whole bunch of little riffs that you came up with spliced together into the form of a song. It wasn't that it was bad, far from it. However, it felt a little dissjointed to me.

I'd say my overall vote is going to sheephead on this one. But kudos to both of you.
