A post-holiday funky backing - Am7 this time

[marinblues]

Dear US friends, welcome back from your holiday. It's been business as usual here in the old continent. :(

Here's another backing from my home production:

Strart Track backing (http://www.marinblues.it/base/starttrack_backing.mp3)

Hope you enjoy it!;)

[Rid]

:D Ultranice lines Marin.
Love the sound, the backing is extremely nice too.

[marinblues]

Hey, thanks buddy. I'm looking forward to your take. ;)

[Ed DeGenaro]

Great playing man...dig the tone too.

[marinblues]

Hey thanks Ed.

[scottl]

Very nice track Marin. Great work! I got the clip to dload finally. Nice solo. Great strat tone. That bridge dissonance was interesting... ;)

[Ed DeGenaro]

betcha you won't hear that on a Robben Ford tune... :)

Very nice, Marin. How are you recording your bass? DI, mike??

[Normster]

Cool backing track, Marin. But what I really dug was your solo!!!
Excellent tone and great feel! :dude

Ed, your link is dead. :(

Cool stuff. Hey Ed, that actually sounded very Stanley Clarke.

Eastern influences....:) That what happens when you record the bass for 55 minutes and then give the guitar only 5 minutes...

By the way, it was my Tokai 335 copy, not a Strat.

thanks.

How about a take of your? ;)

These three takes were just quick amp tuning test clips. I am trying out a Swamp Thang speaker from Eminence. These are some of my first efforts with it. I was mainly messing with amp settings and mic position. Lots o' clams! Enjoy the seafood. Click and observe how to not build a solo. LOL Mix that with lack of focus due to amp soldering obsession and you this. Btw, this is my Fender 75 mod.

Ed, I'll check yours from home. Proxy block....

First was alright, really dug tone and playing on the second, hated the third.

I am with you totally.... #2 is the best one imo too.

Thanks for listening Ed.

[Mike]

Thanks for the clips. You confirmed for me that the Swamp Thang is not for me, for that tone. Great speaker for Scooby stuff though.

When I removed the ST and put the Tonker in, it was a more open and lively sound/feel. I want still more open/lively.

Your EV does it for me. Then the Wizard. From Tomo's comments, I just ordered a Tonespotter looking for more highs. The quest continues....

Yeah Mike! The Swampy was still loaded in the Avatar from the clip many many months ago. I was gonan put my extra Wizard in but I felt like a few clisp for posterity. I am not the Swampy either fwiw.

Nice take, Rid. Your playing has become "hendrixy" ever since you bought a Strat! ;)


(...it is a Strat?:eek: )

I admit that I cheated and listened only to number 2!

Nice smooth tone with enough bite when needed.

Hey, thanks Jim! :)

[scottl]

Here ya go. This is a bit better. I just need to boost the highs a tad. The bass texture on this one is much more to my liking. Back to my ultra dark EVM. If it only had more extended highs! I need to record my Wizard tonight. That should be the ticket.

This one is slighty more nasal than number "2". I prefer the bite of extra bite and clarity of the "2". Just my taste.

[Rid]

Nice take, Rid. Your playing has become "hendrixy" ever since you bought a Strat!
Yep it is my HW1 strat with two old APS-1's in neck and middle plus an APS-2 flat poled bridge pickup, those A2 magnets works very good on my mapleneck strat:D
And thanks for the comment..I do think that it is a piece of pooh...but hey that is how one plays with elephant fingers....I drink a ton of water to get them back in shape, the heat and the hard work is not helping;)

Very straty! Nice Hendrixian approach. Well done Rid!

Wow Marin,
Thanks for such a nice and relaxed backing. It screamed for dessecration from me:D Here's my quick take:

Marin Got Stratified (http://www.guitar.com/useruploads/133091/MP3/070805201339.mp3)

Vlad


P.S. Great takes from everyone so far-great melody from Marin himself,the usual EdDeGeneratisms,Scott you swing even when you're high on fumes;),Rid I loved the Strat-y sounds!

Dude,thanks for the kind words but you know you don't have to steal anything 'cuz you already got a lot;) Gear was very low-tech,just my usual home recording setup-Yamaha USA2 through the PODxt,unfortunately I cannot crank the Fuchsen at home otherwise it would be bitchin'.Glad you liked it!
