Bassing Up Is Hard To Do…

Today was limerick day. This bought on many problems for us as a band. Buckletone was merciless! He ripped into everyone. Gray, Steve, Brad, myself. He even ripped into the band as a whole. He had the first limerick within the first hour and a half of todays session! Can we really be that bad?

Many limericks were submitted, yet had to be turned away because the didn’t meet the correct protocol. From what we found out, the limerick structure must consist of 5 lines. Each line had to contain a certain amount of syllables. For example;

Line 1 – 9 syllables
Line 2 – 9 syllables
Line 3 – 6/7 syllables
Line 4 – 6/7 syllables
Line 5 – 9 syllables

The object of the limerick was to make lines 1,2 and 5 rhyme, although this was not a necessity. I think Buckletone won that round.

After some changes were made to a final drum track this morning, today’s objective was to complete the remaining bass tracks. All went well, except for Lilith, which was a bit of a pain. As it turns out, for the past 6 months I’ve been playing it wrong, and this needed to be rectified. It didn’t take me long to get up to speed, but tracking it was a nightmare. But – with Buckletone’s encouragement – we knocked the bastard off and re-amped with some dirty, dirty distortion pedals he has. You’re going to love it.
Throughout the recording process so far, we have strived to get the best tones we can, and I have to say I am completely happy with how the bass tones have turned out.

Tomorrow’s objective: recording rhythm guitars. There will have to be some photos of the combination of amps we’re using to get the best sound for the album!

I can’t wait for you all to hear this album!!!
