Members MingusBass Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 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!

Members Cpt. Spliff Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thank you for sharing. It did look suspiciously like a 4-stringed P in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MingusBass Posted March 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 It was the only bass I would risk out there in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wades_keys Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Ha, they're my babies! The little bit I heard had a real jazz vibe going on: especially your singer, who gets that smoky smooth vibe pretty good. Is that your target audience (jazz)? (I guess maybe "MingusBass" gives that away, but then again ya never know) I don't have good enough speakers on the laptop to pick up any bass, sorry: that's why I turned it off, not because I didn't dig what you all were doing.

I wouldn't say we are going after the Jazz crowd but I think some of our songs have a bit of a Steely Dan vibe and Jillian certainly has a very soulful/jazzy voice. I would say we are after pretty much anyone that we can get. Most of the places we play would be classified as college clubs/bars. You should try listening on a better set of speakers, you may just dig the tunes. You'll certainly be able to hear the bass better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members collinwho Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I love your album art. This isn't the type of thing I listen to a lot of, but you definitely sound very good. I probably wouldn't change the station if it came on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MingusBass Posted March 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 relaxing, and groovy baby. small suggestion: $14.99 @ mfriend Keep rockin' Thanks for the suggestion! It was an earlier version of the song than the vocal take that ended up on the EP. Although I work for Sweetwater, so I'll probably get it there...

Members jasper383 Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 You can check out our music video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DENWLcBgl4M What a great video. It looks like you're all having fun. Is that a Roadworn Precision? Looks great, but that growly growl in the recording says SR5 all the way.

Looks great, but that growly growl in the recording says SR5 all the way. I used the Road Worn P, which is a fine bass, for the video because it was less than 10 degrees out in Northern Indiana. South Bend to be exact. BURRRRR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MingusBass Posted March 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Cool spam, bro. I had posted the video a couple months ago, and there were people who wanted to know when the EP was done, but of course I want to hear people's opinions on our work.
