Finished up the single, “Thirteen,” for Conflikt; I’ve got a release candidate sitting on the hard drive, just need to run it by a couple of listeners to make sure I’ve not done something foolish I haven’t noticed.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty crunchy, which is lots of fun. Not much overdrive on the octave mandolin, but that’s because it didn’t need any – it sounds all trashed out already. ♥<\/p>\n

It’s also the first time I’ve recorded anything on the Godin A5 fretless bass. I’m doing very little fretless-specific playing (not zero, but very little), but I’m certainly<\/eM> spending a lot of time hanging out on the low fifth string. Subwoofers will have things to do. n\/<\/p>\n

I also experimented with a new technique, recording both a clean bass take and a take through a couple of really cool efx pedals and an amp that clearly<\/em> wants to be making cookie monster metal, then mixing together. That<\/em> was awesome.<\/p>\n
