Hi,

I've got another new song on Soundclick if anyone is interested in having a listen. It's called Night Shift and you can find it here:
http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13064622
 
It was started in X3, but finished up in Platinum (not that that really matters)
This one has a neat groove with an Acoustic Bass (Trilian) and Drums (Superior Drums).
 
Add to that some Telecaster and a little bit of Strat (for the whammy), and some fun with with a filter.

Please let me know what you think ;-)

Nice groove going on this and there are some nice touches throughout. Reminds a bit of a ZZ Top.
 
Regards,
Dan

Nice one!!!  I love instrumentals and it seems as if it is impossible to find any getting airplay any more.
This number has a lot of restricted energy in it (just like the old time raunchy rock instrumentals, some rockabilly and Blues, and some jazz).  That is a style I really like.
That acoustic bass sounds good.  I would like it brought forward just a wee bit.
Very nice indeed.

You have arranged things very well - very quirky - it definitely kept me listening!
 
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there was something going on in the bass besides just acoustic bass. Did you double it with a synth bass in spots? It was thick as hell, not really muddy, just T-H-I-C-K - not in a bad way.
 
What kind of bass are you using? How did you mix it into this frothy fullness? nice job!
 
cheers,

I really liked it too. Very organic feel, very alive. And yeah, killer bass. I'd never heard of Trilian, but I googled it up. Great sound and well played.

Wow, thanks a lot for the comments guys!

I'm trying to stick to my guns - I constantly get comments like "How come there aren't any vocals" or "this would sound good if you added vocals".

This is just the Trilian Acoustic bass - nothing else - honest ;-)
I don't work for, or get paid by Spectrasonics, but IMHO this acoustic bass is the best!

I just mixed it with the drums (and you're right, it's "full") - then tried to keep the guitar parts out of the way ;-)
 
Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to listen.

Interesting things happening throughout.  That is a very nice sounding bass.  

Hi Warren,
 
Thanks a lot for listening!
 
Is that a middle pickup on the tele in your avatar?

Nice little groove going down with this tune and the mix come across very well here.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Wookie - thanks a lot for listening!
