how to play bass like a real man

Greetings. Today was a big bass day in the studio. Tracking tracking tracking and more tracking. I started off with the bass line to my new upcoming track "Graveyards". Until now it was all synth everything - well when it came to bass at least. So being a bass player by trade I decided to switch it up. I have to say I was very excited about the results. So excited that I thought I would give you guys a little preview. There is no drum track along with the bass because I really wanted you all to hear the sweet sweet sound of my Chandler TG-1 Limiter. I don't know what I'm psyched on more the sound of the compressor or the sound of the bass.



In case you were wondering I'm using a Fender Jazz going direct through a Groove Tubes Vipre and an API-550. Kaboom! On to the next one. My second bass session was for a song I co-wrote and produced for an artist named ANE. There is an instrumental outro so I took advantage of the chance to get a little creative. Since I'm on the fence as to whether or not I will be leaving this in I figured it would be nice to let this see the light of day. I left in the accompaniment here so you can get the vibe of what's going on. I also channeled my inner Paul McCartney here. Enjoy.

Village Vanguard and Vyou.com

Happy New Year! Hope the holidays were great for everyone and that you're following through on your resolutions! One of my resolutions was to quit smoking and I'm happy to say that it's been 19 days and I haven't had one! Woo! I also wanted to lose some weight and the Video Game god's saw fit to give me the flu for like 9 days - and whattaya know: I lost 3lbs.

Anyway big news from Japan! DJ Shuzo, one of Tokyo's top mix-tape DJ's and my very very good friend is putting out a new mixtape called "Village Vanguard" and is including some of my tracks like "Baxter" What's really awesome (well, depending how you define awesome) is that he named the mixtape after one of Japan's popular convenience stores : Village Vanguard. I guess I just really like Japanese convenience stores.

In other area's of awesomeness I came across a website called Vyou.com It's like YouTube and Twitter rolled up into a springroll with some fish oil and wasabi. Here's what it is in a nutshell: You create a profile and people ask you questions then you record a video of you answering the question and you can follow people and have people follow you. Here is my Vyou feed:



I want everyone to sign up and ask me questions!
