bass trax by Chris Moss Acid

The first full-length album written in ages

I decided to ditch the TB-303 in favor of an actual bass guitar and chose to write most of the songs with the fretless so I could get them 'mwah' slides in...

it took about a month to brush off the cobwebs and get back in the swing of things re-learning how to play the bass, and then learning how to play the fretless, after about 3 months of playing with jazz backing tracks I started to write a new album using the bass as the forefront instrument (much like a 303 is/was/will be).

All songs were written solely on the bass, even though there isn't any actual bass on the last 2 tracks, both were written on the bass though.
But where there is some proper bass playing, the 3 bass solos scattered throughout the album, it was a nice change to solo on an actual instrument, as opposed to a 303 or synth..

for the geeky types out there the 2 bass guitars I used on this recording are

Squire Classic Vibe '60s Jazz Bass with flat wounds
Squier Affinity Jazz Bass with round wounds

Thanks for all the support and I hope the album is enjoyable, I loved making it.

Cheers

Chris
