[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;18178989]Here's a new song for anyone who might care to listen.

The show last night was the shit. Thanks to ol' Matty EADG for getting us the gig. There will be photos and videos soon. Two people were taking pictures (one is an amazing photographer) and another person filmed the entire set.[/QUOTE]

Why are the letters on your shirts in lowercase?

[quote=EADGCFBb;18179164]I keep my bass maxed, full on the neck pickup, always. It sounds unbearable to me otherwise.

It ain't worth putting new pickups in this stupid thing.[/quote]

Really? I thought the bass benefited greatly from new pickups. If I had the money, I would have gone for a new preamp too. Loved it.

Try some of the other strings recommended, or get an EQ pedal. If none of those work, I might suggest trading it for a new bass.

:lol:

I'm actually surprised that no one really said anything to us about it last night. We just thought it would be funny.
We wanted something that would unite us as a group and something that people would (might?) remember.

[quote=FunkMetalBass;18179031]What do you guys think of this band (aside from recording quality)?
[url]http://www.myspace.com/6asideband[/url]

They're a bit on the stock side, but they're pretty tight and have a very full sound. I've been offered a spot as their bassist. I'll likely decline for full-time school, but there's definitely potential there.[/quote]
Lmao worst auto tune job I've ever heard.

That singer will blow live I assure you.

I didn't hear this 'full sound' you speak of. Or are you talking about when you've seen them live?

My band has a new song up if you want to hear it, Joel.

[url]http://www.myspace.com/capitalaitch[/url]

It still needs mixing, but let me know what you think.

I listened to it.

Singer is better than your last one by a mile. Still a bit pitchy here and there, but fixable.

Drums sounds pretty useable for the feel of the song.

The last section (as gaslight mentions) will be very hard to manage from the guitar tones and the drum tones/beat I'm hearing. It seems like a mismatch of energy between everyone, so good luck mixing that section.

Couldn't really hear the bass that much, but I think I can hear slight intonation issues in the guitars, I'd need to hear it in solo to tell if it's just my imagination or a Freudian slip.

Not a terribad song, vocal melodies were okay, the vocal needs a lot of beefing up though.

Yes, I am. I don't have the ability to listen to MySpace recordings at work, but you're probably right about the lack of full sound in the recordings. I was tired. Gimme a break.

I don't remember the singer being shitty live, but then again, it was a drunken night, so I was probably numb to it.

I have to decline anyway, so it's a pointless post now.

Lol sorry didn't mean to seem like I was having a go :p

[quote=Convectuoso;18179516]Lol sorry didn't mean to seem like I was having a go :p[/quote]

But you did, and now my eyes are watery with sadness.

Joel's angry 'cause he's not in a band :p.

Lol I'm in a band. I just don't flaunt it.

[quote=Convectuoso;18180001]Lol I'm in a band. I just don't flaunt it.[/quote]

Probably cuz they suck.

If you wanna critique everyone else's band you've gotta have yours out there :p. We'll need those recordings.

My band does suck, hence the absence of flaunting :lol:

Stop hitting yourself :lol:.

Yeah see now Ryan has the right to brag, he's in a somewhat successful pop rock band.

...There's only so much more money I'm putting into this stupid thing.

It ain't worth buying that.

I detest being labelled pop rock. Most of the songs sound quite a bit heavier live, we got the EP made with a pop producer so after all that it doesn't have the same impact we really wanted some of the songs to have.

Sorry dude, I am as generic as they come when labeling bands, it literally does not matter to me.

Sorry, Ryan, but you are pop rock. In fact, you're lighter than a lot of what I hear on the radio these days.

The funny thing is I despise over-categorisation of music yet when people ask me what a certain band is like I always get overtly technical. "They're pretty much tech metal I guess, not quite math though with a touch of post-grunge thrown in."

I hate myself.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;18180319]Sorry, Ryan, but you are pop rock. In fact, you're lighter than a lot of what I hear on the radio these days.[/QUOTE]

Hrmm, well be that as it may from what you've heard most everything we've written in the last year has been considerably heavier, I'm actually quite keen to get some decent recordings done.

I'd like to hear the new recordings when you get them done.

I'm finding that I really like the sound of my 8-string in passive mode. It's reminiscent of the way I imagine a jazz bass should sound. Then it's just ballsy and awesome in active mode.

[QUOTE=EADGCFBb;18180300]I thought it.[/QUOTE]

We do jokes and music. Just sometimes people can't tell which is which.

I have some ultra dodgy ones I can probably get on here.

I'm finding I never play my 6 string so it can be deemed a waste of money and I should sell it so I can buy a decent acoustic :)

I need to move to Auz man, way more legit bands over there that need recording and actually deserve to be within 20m of a recording studio. I hear Melbourne is like the musical epicenter of Australasia.

And yes, hate yourself, you're the worst kind of hypocrite.

This made me lol. Now if you were always this mildly self deprecating things between us would be a lot better bby.

Get rid of it.

Get a really good four.

Or get a fiver. The low B could be handy.

But this is my opinion speaking not yours. What should do is listen to me. Really, you should.





Honestly. I NEVER had a need for the high C unless I was gona play some solo bass (read: lol).

Yeah I'd say that's probably a fair statement about Melbourne. We're thinking about moving down south a bit further in the not-too-distant future. There's no good mid-large sized venues in Brissy, there's a lot of 250-500 capacity venues, one or two 750-1250 and then after that we're talking fuckin' stadiums and entertainment centers.

Melbourne would be OK, I was born there after all, but Sydney is more of a generic epicenter for everything in Australia. Closer to home and I have family there.
