Loads of StingRay 5 Goodness: My band's EP is now out!

[MingusBASS]

A while back I posted about my band and how we were recording our EP and I promised I'd be back when it was released. Well last night we had our release party and the tunes are now up on myspace to check out. I'll include a link to download the tunes or you can send me a PM if you are interested in a physical copy.

I used two StingRay 5 basses on the recordings. I used the Black Cherry Burst HH(ceramic) with rounds on all of the tracks but You + Me which is my Cabernet Pearl BFR HS(alnico) which currently has flats.

We're VERY proud of this recording because we did everything ourselves. We performed, mixed and mastered everything on this EP. We even designed the artwork.

Please check out the tunes here: http://www.myspace.com/thebergamot

If you dig them, you can either download a digital copy here: Smile - The Bergamot

Or like I said you can PM for a physical copy!

Man, I love the intro to 'Railroad' - quite awesome. Also listened to 'But I Do' which I also enjoyed, nice and funkay. Are these professional recordings? Cos they sound great.

I like it! What software did you use to record and mix?

We recorded the EP in our guitarist's home studio. I think the results sound pretty good, but none of us are professional engineers.

I do work for Sweetwater Sound and I was able to rent and purchase a bunch of cool preamps and mics that helped us get there.

I'm glad you're digging the tunes.

We used Pro Tools LE. Used a 002 Rack with the help of an Apogee Rosetta 800 that I picked up.

So I'm listening to "You + Me" and I'm thinking "this is a cover - I know this song"...

Then I realize I recognized it from seeing your video a while back!

Great tune, and overall great job with the recordings.

As a doctor, I would prescribe this to any individual in need of groovy tunes.

Seriously though, check these guys out. Tasty playing for days!

I've been meaning to buy this since you posted. I keep on opening the link in a new tab so I can get back to it later and then I forget about it. I'll try to actually do it tonight.
