Very good ear! As this was our first recording, I was so proud of how the guitar turned out that I didn't really spend enough time either recording or mixing the bass. The way we record bass now with Nick is to actually mic up his cabinet and run it through a compressor. For this recording the bass was just plugged straight in to Roland without any additional sound modifications. Also, the reason the lead guitar seems to jump in and out is that Dan recorded this completely instrumentally at first. All the vocal sections were done in a seperate take with a wah pedal and it all blended really well. Then I tried a version with me singing and took the wah out. In fact, the lick right after the line "There's too much confusion. I just can't get no release" has turned into an inside joke lick as that's the only piece of the wah part that I left in. Also, the song just felt like it rocked more with the rhythm up an extra notch. Thanks again for the post! Keep checking back as we'll have some original stuff completed soon.
