After the first day of recording all 6 drum tracks for the new record, it was time to do my bass lines.  I spoke to Jason and apparently he strained his shoulder he played so hard.  Ving and I went to The Bubble and listened to the tracks that we recorded.  They sounded great!!  We started going over my bass lines, I had no idea but they sounded great.  Here I was upset about my performance when Frenchie tells me that we were solid.  We listened to all 6 tracks.  On the second song I had to punch in.  I flubbed a note.  I punched in and got it done, it was hard considering it was a crazy section I had to punch in.  Got that done, so we started listening to "Something About You".  Aaron and Asa from Scorpion Child came in while we were listening.  They liked what they heard.  We went through the whole song and Frenchie says, "it sounds good".  I didn't have to go in and fix any mistakes.  He looks at the boys from Scorpion Child and says, "this was one take".  They were stoked for us.  I had to punch into another section so I did so.  Got it right, went down stairs and we realized I punched into a take that we weren't keeping.  Frenchie says, "sorry dude, but hey, at least this take has perfect bass."  We go through all the other songs and I had one more punch in section for one note.  Did that and went downstairs.  All in all I had to fix 3 small mistakes for 6 songs.  One take that we weren't keeping.  I love that!  I had 4 songs that were all one takes on the bass.  I guess when we're playing really hard to get the drums done, I get warmed up enough to get my shit straight.  I was done early so it was time for guitars.  Ving came in and just started to shred.  We added some really cool layers.  Keep in mind we're working on 2 inch tape and 24 tracks.  We're going old school for the sound.  Ving hammers through the guitar sections.  Jason shows up at around 5pm to see how we're doing.  We're all blown away by the guitars and overall sound.  Ving continues to hammer through lead after lead, rhythm after rhythm.  We're working on "Something About You" when Jason says, "hey, I'm gonna split, but maybe we should do something psychedelic".  and leaves.  We all look at each other and the ideas flow.  Frenchie asks if he can add some guitar tracks.  We all agree this is a great idea.  He plugs in, throws the wah out, gets a phaser, and makes some crazy ass digital sorcery.  He's wailing with his arms flailing in the air.  Ving laughs and says, "you didn't get this on video?"  I messed up.  We went, "holy shit, he went Eddie Kramer on us!" He then continues to conjur up more digital sorcery using various devices throughout the night.  The overall product is going to be insane.  It's safe to say we went psychedelic on that ass.  I would even venture on to say we went "psycho-delic".  We left at 2am thrilled.  Drums, guitars, bass, are done.  Now for vocals and additives.  More to come.
