Just been working on "Cold Cold City" again tonight and I've decided that I just couldn't live life without a good punchy bass line. I have to declare my bass love for all the world. I don't care who knows about it. This little track is turning into a real pearler the more I work on it and along with Seize the Day could be one of the cd highlights. Of course, they're all highlights for me...lol.
Doing this CD by myself is definitely challenging my creative abilities (in a very good way!). One of the most enjoyable, and at the same time difficult things, is to come up with a bass line that is interesting, gives a great groove, holds the song together as a foundation, but isn't overbearing. I'm having such fun building bass lines for these songs -- most of my time is spent on getting the bass right, as without it, it's like building a house on sand. You can mess up anything else, but without good bass, you're nuthin!
