I've been recording bass-lines to my songs. Ironically, I've been using my Princeton Chorus guitar amp to play through. I laid down temporary sketch tracks while my Ampeg was being repaired. When I got the Ampeg back I started to record for keeps. But I couldn't get the right sound. I was getting a good sound, but the Princeton had a hollow distorted sound that seemed to fit the track better. I had changed the sound on the Princeton after recording the sketch tracks, thinking that I was going to use the Ampeg. So there I was twisting knobs on the Princeton trying to emulate the cheap sound that I recorded with earlier. I spent a lot of time trying to find "the sound." I got it pretty close, but it's not exact.
Yawn. Anyway. I've been doing my best to channel my inner Paul McCartney for these bass lines. I'm thinking Paul is feeling pretty tired right about now. I have ten songs to do and I haven't finished one yet. The poor guy's going to need some supplements before I get through with him.
