    Help Me Identify A Mystery Song

    Here's a quick groove thang I did earlier this week. I used the BIAS plug-in with the Dumble preset on guitar, and a Fender Tweed preset with 12" bass speakers on the bass track. The music is from some instrumental 45 I heard as a kid of 11 years, but for the life of me have no recollection...

    Light the Room

    I just started making my own music. I like the free experimentation of it. I have been producing a lot of three piece stuff, mostly piano, bass, and drums. This one I feel is worthy of sharing. I do everything in Reaper. Check this out and let me know what you think of my music....thanks!

    Jazzy instrumental by me!

    I might have posted this before, don't remember clearly, apologize if that is the case. Anyway, this is a jazzy instrumental, pretty far from my usual style, that I created a couple of years ago, featuring improvised bass and guitar, recorded on top of a drums, bells and synths backing track...

    What features make a bass good for playing solo compositions?

    Are there specific features of basses from manufacturers like JCR or Fodera that make them well suited for playing solo compositions?

    Bedroom Warrior's First Studio Recording

    After several years of being a bedroom warrior I finally decided to go out there and record something. Love the growl from the tone and how it fits. A little solo is thrown in because there was no guitarist Enjoy Instagram post by Freedom Studios • Sep 29, 2019 at 2:46pm UTC

    Strings Height for using a Pick

    Hi! Here again with a doubt... i'm a pick player and sometimes with a hard touch my low E string buzz. Someone can tell me how can i get that funky bobby vega style with no string buzz and clean notes? i mean, did he uses high action? By the way, i have a Fender Jazz classic 60's series with...

    Double Bass Point me to some db/steel-string flat top instrumental music...

    ...that isn't bluegrass, folk or singer-songwriter. Something where the mix and the concept isn't "guitar arrangement + accompanist" but shared responsibilities for melody and rhythm. Pizz. If that's too specific, I'll take singer-songwriter stuff. But I really do want flat top steel and a more...

    Request Christmas Time Is Here tab - instrumental Guaraldi version

    Help! I have a time sensitive request... looking for the bass line as played on the Guaraldi recording of his own song, "Christmas Time Is Here", the instrumental version.

    Hi everyone, I'm back again to ask for any critiques on original songs I record for fun in my spare time. I've been trying to sharpen my skills at mixing recently, so I'd really appreciate comments on the mix. Additionally I thought instead of creating a thread every time I want opinions; it...

    Just had some fun in Reason programming a beat along with some synth and bells that I improvised over with my bass and baritone guitar. It's not perfect since it's first takes. Still I think it turned out quite nice.

    Guitar solo excerpt from an instrumental I'm working on

    Hello! I'm mainly a guitar player and have only recently purchased my first bass, but I'm trying to make use of it in some home recordings. This is just a guitar solo part from a WIP instrumental. There are a couple of "meh" spots in the bass' timing, but it took me long enough to make this...

    Breeze - a short instrumental to demo my new (and first) bass

    Hey. I've opened a couple of threads here before about buying a first bass. The first one I bought (a RockBass Streamer Standard 5) was just too weak and I ended up replacing it with a RockBass Streamer LX 5. I like the way it sounds and it has plenty of output, but the on-board active EQ is...

    Instrumental Covers Band

    Slowly trying to get back into a gigging life, however casual or amater it may be. It's proving real tough to assemble a full line-up, especially for vocals.
