A photo of a small bass guitar amp with a bass guitar leaning against it, and a novel sitting in front. The amp is an Orange Crush Bass 25 and has a black mesh on the front with the rest of it being the customary bright orange colour. The guitar is a Yamaha BB434 and the body fades from black around the edges into a dark rich orange/red wood in the middle. The book is a sci-fi novel "Empire of Silence" by Christopher Ruocchio.

Birthday loot! 😁 The book was a surprise gift from @yayKM, the reviews are glowing so I'll definitely be starting that next when I finish my current book. And I've gotten the bass all nicely wall-mounted already. Very excited to start learning it, I've heard very good things about the Bassbuzz course (https://www.bassbuzz.com/lessons/beginner) from LOTS of people so I'm going to start with that.

Swing

I recorded another thing! It's a slower, swing kind of thing, with the guitar just plugged directly into the audio interface rather than going through my full amp+pedal board setup because I couldn't be bothered getting it out. 😛 I'm aware I cocked up in a couple of places, and this is after I rejiggered a couple of parts of the drums because I realised I was starting the fill in the middle of a bar, oops.

A photo of the box of a Fender "Mustang Micro" headphone guitar amp. It's a little box with a volume dial on the front and some buttons on the side that plugs directly into the output of the guitar. You plug headphones into the amp, and off you go!

Yesss, very excited about this! All the reviews have been glowing and it'll be wonderful to just plug into the guitar, pop headphones on, and not be tethered to one place when I just feel like doing a bit of guitar noodling rather than anything serious that'd warrant the full tube amp setup.

A photo of an Ibanez JIVA10 guitar sitting against a wall next to an Orange amplifier, with a pedal board in front of them with 10 Boss compact pedals on it, plus a MIDI controller pedal and little footswitch pedal for switching the amp between the clean and dirty channels.

And we're all set up!

A photo of the box of Games Workshop's new Warhammer Underworlds box, "Gnarlwood", and four Boss guitar pedals. The Underworlds box has artwork of a guy in furs and looking very shamanic, and the guitar pedals are the DS-1W distortion, DD-3T digital delay, GE-7 equaliser, and Reverb RV-6.

Christmas loot! Hope everyone's had a good one.

Drums and chords with single coil split (Electronic Remix)

And then of course, I had to spend like two hours playing around in Logic Pro turning this into an electronic song. 😁 I duplicated the guitar track three times and applied different effects to each one, very pleased with the result. The drums were slightly annoying because apparently my Roland drum kit uses different MIDI notes than the defaults than Logic uses for a bunch of the individual pieces. I always end up having to manually edit the drum kit within Logic Pro so a quarter of the notes are even playing anything at all, and then I need to change another quarter of them because things like the toms and crash cymbal have ended up being weird effect sounds instead.

Drums plus chords with single coil split

I made another song! This time it was just straight up recording a track on the drums, then playing guitar over it. Definitely doing significantly better in terms of staying in time now. 😛 For the guitar, I used my new Ibanez and switched it to the split between the bridge humbucker and the middle single coil, and it's SUCH a nice sparkly sound! I added some reverb after the fact in Logic Pro as well, since I don't have my reverb pedal yet, and man it's amazing how much of a difference it makes. The whole guitar just sounds more... open, I guess? It's hard to describe but it's quite a noticeable difference.
