I haven't had much time in the last 6 months to do much. This song hit me kinda all at once, and though not finished (on any front, esp. lyrics/vox) it is a fun process. I'm loving Platinum. All parts done ITB save for the guitars via AxeFx Ultra/RCF NX12-SMA cab and Bluebird. Thoughts on tone, q, etc. are much appreciated even for this rough. Thanks for taking time to listen - Shep

Good start Shep.
 
Given the guitar tone I'd consider a light chorus on the bass or maybe a 2-3db boost between 1-2k. Just too a little snap.
 
Or maybe not.

Thanks for chiming in, Bapu. Do you feel the guitar tone is outta whack in relation to the rest?

Nope, not at all.

Can you post a link to Soundclick or Soundcloud or BOX or something.  I don't really want to download it cause I am still cleaning stuff off my computer from when I used to.  I'd really like to hear it.  No problem if you can't.

Here's a Soundcloud link - https://soundcloud.com/jshepdog/new-song-gtrs-08032015-clip/s-k2oY9

Hi Shep,
 
Lots going on in that track... Will there be vocals as well?
 
So far, so good, it seems to me 
 
cheers

Ha, thanks, Shep. I did the download just now.  This is really a great tune structurally.  The mix seems off to me but i am not adept at telling you what is wrong with this freq or that freq.  Somehow it just doesn't gel together for me.  All the parts are there and I know it's a work in progress so I will keep watching.  I love your chord changes. Thanks for taking the time to do the SC link.  

Are you playing bass or is it a synth?  On my second listen and am really enjoying the tune. That's gotta be a real bass and well played  I am going to listen till I figure out what is bothering me.

Thanks a lot for listening, guys - much appreciated. There will be vocals (I love harmony). There are still guitar parts missing in the intro and choruses and bridge. I grew up on Rock/Progressive, and love bands like EWF, so this is a hybrid of all that I guess.
Warren - that's Trilian bass, triggered from my 61 key controller. I began as a bassist, so at least I have a bit of experience to draw from to try to make it reasonable.
