And the bass is done too...

After a mammoth weekend recording session I'm pleased to report all the bass tracks are done.

The only casualities are my fingertips and my wallet...I owe the swear jar approximately £376 because of some creative profanity following the odd clanger or four. Noog kept his composure throughout. I was expecting a Yosemite Sam style eruption, complete with steam coming out of his ears to the sound of a whistling kettle, after I announced for the umpteenth time that "that'll do".

I can only assume two days of listening to nothing but bass has completely wrecked his hearing.

The drums are done... And I survived!!!

The drum tracks are done. Finished! Terminado! Finito! Eindproduct!
A big thank you to Greg "the dark" Haver for the use of his "heavier
than hell" cymbals. They sound so much better that Denleys dustbin
lids!
The drum sessions went fairly well... As well as can be expected. If
anyone has sat through a drum session they'll know exactly what I
mean.
It took 8 sessions altogether (Den thought he'd be back home smoking a
kipper after 3 nights... How wrong he was!), and they sound pretty
darn good.
There's some editing to happen and done "fixing it when we're mixing
it" but it's not a total disaster and that's pretty much a total
success!

Guitars now....... The fun starts here!
