Title: New Song recorded with my Series 1
Post by: Picure on May 04, 2020, 09:30:17 AM

This is a new song by The Hunger Artist. I recorded this with my 1980 Series 1 with F2B. I used a Carlin Compressor/Fuzz for the distortion.

Sounds really tasty - when the bass is isolated for a fill about 3/4 thru it fills the whole sound space up!

Totally! Especially with the F2B it fattens everything up!

Good job - very clear and differentiated soundmix, ready to be played on the radio!

Listening to that track with all the guitars going on, if I wasn't told the bass was an alembic I don't think I could tell. ( That is not a criticism, just an observation).
I think this may be because virtually all my listening to alembics on records have been Stanley Clarke who has a really up front sound on his albums.  So I don't have any real experience of hearing an alembic bass on record in it's more traditional role in a band apart from myself on stage.
I do like the track though. Great playing Picure, and do you get any say in what bass you use or the tone you think would work best?
