StringBass

Another two takes of a piece off that poorly-labeled worktape. The bass is this wonderful string bass sound from my Ensoniq Mirage that I'd been fooling with for a while. The guitar lick was originally SS's but we'd been working together for several years at this point so I'm not sure if it was 100% his or a joint-inspiration. Anyway, my apologies if he's recorded & copyrighted it elsewhere but I'm certain any version he did is different from these.

This sounds sloppy as both takes were live w/no sequencing whatsoever, both takes a bit different as well. Note that only take 3 has a break. No click track, either, as my studio at the time did not have the capability to do a click that wouldn't also appear on tape. We did this in 'free time', something I'll say more about when I get to the "S'not Tuna" tape, but for now let it suffice that I have a very strong sense for the rhythm of a piece of music and do not need a drummer to play in time. Most likely recorded fall of 1992.
