Classic BB.   
 
Great stuff, as always.  Guitars are wide and crunchy, and the playing is right on point (love the wah).    Is that real bass or samples?  It has a cool five string groove going.     And the vocals?   Well, I only wish I could do something remotely similar... but I'm pretty sure most cannot.

thanks for checking it, steve....
 
the bass is real....
it's a Carvin LB70, into a sansamp bass DI, split to my mesa boogie guitar head, both signals blended.
 
it's a regular 4 string, but it sounds deep.

Hey Bat, got your album a while ago, haven't had a chance to listen yet.  I'm making time today.
 
As far as commenting on the production quality, what am I going to say.  You are the confirmed master.  Guitar magician extraodianrio. 
 
Now, as far as what I would like to hear is, on the next album "turn the vocals up a little bit."  Not a lot, just a wee bit, you have a great voice to go along with your virtuoso guitar playing, give it it's due.  Once I hear the whole album I could consider my comment null and void.
 
But that is just me, and all in all it is a kick a$$ piece of work.
 
Later

Hey bat. Great job. It is so easy to say "great job" and "sounds great", etc. We don't always have time to really comment. 
I realized listening to this final rendition that with all the forum's discussions on EQ, compression, mixing, soft tube, hard tube, etc., it really does not matter to the end result as much as the song, lyrics, playing and arrangement. 
 
In your songs and in this one, your creativity is what makes it shine so brightly. You could have used a hundred different VST's on it and I don't think it would have much of an impact on the final result at all. 
You have everything mixed right in the pocket. Bass to hi's are all balanced well. The track rocks and so does the mix. 
So it is that after one nails the general presentation, what is left is the music. What you do with our music is totally awesome and super high in thought and creativity. That sets you apart from most IMO.
 
So here's to you (again) bat. You amaze me not for the "sounds" of your music but for the writing and playing. Those things speak way beyond the technical "it sounds great" comments to me. I continue to say it - "You should have been a rock star".
 
Merry Christmas!

it is a rather 'large' mix, isn't it!!
 
but more solos?!
i think this maxes out the typical listener's 'solo-ability'.
LOL
 
thanks for listening
