Some bas(s)ic problems and guitar demons in the machine..

Interesting session today, a bit of a Spinal Tap vibe actually, ha ha. First off, when we (Thats Fredrik and Peter) were almost at the studio, we discovered that we had forgotten to bring some vital equipment, weeee. OK, lets go home and get it then, shall we, and so we did. After returning and consuming the standard salad brunch, we were ready to embark on a bass guitar adventure..

First, we plugged the bass straight into the mixing console and tried to record a couple of tunes. We then came to two conclusions. 1. The sound really sucked, it was flat and boring. We then plugged it into Peters guitar amp instead and the difference was quite astounding BUT then conclusion number 2 showed its ugly face. The strings used on this bass is not adapted for "M.O.B music" since we play our songs waaaay tuned down.. Well, well, what can you do? We have to get new strings in order to get the right heaviness that we want from the bass recordings.. Peter will see to that tomorrow and a new attempt regarding the bass will be made in a couple of days.

We instead focused the rest of the afternoon on a couple of more guitar addons on "The Legacy", "Among The Wolves" and "As The Demons Call My Name". We also discovered that one of the previously recorded rhythm guitar tracks for "Demons" was a bit messed up with some strange overdub causing a bit of a problem. After screwing around with that for a while, we managed to solve the problem anyway, so.. All in all,  we got some great stuff down. On wednesday, Richard will join us as we will sit back together and listen to all the guitar tracks thats been recorded so far, to see if anything has to be changed/re-recorded, or whatever, and after that, it's bass time again! Cheers! /Fredrik/Peter

Houston, can you hear us, we have a bass problem, no strings attached...

Due to the bass problems today, Peter felt that he needed to play a warm beautiful guitar solo to end the day, it will bring tears to your eyes!
