DM Sample Track - 8 Layered Tracks of Bass
This track requires a little bit of an explanation ;-)
This is actually 8 tracks of layered bass - there is no percussion or any other instrument being played (the clave track is bass too). All tracks were created in one day with a combination of different finger techniques, varying pickup blends and EQ (there is no sound that doesn't involve my fingers across the strings, ie. no "hitting" the bass or pickups). Only reverb and delay were added to the end result (EQ was done on the bass). It's kind of silly, but hey, why not? Feel free to contact me to let me know what you think.
