NOTE: Sound quality may be diminished depending on the speakers of your device. For best results listen with a high-quality amplifier designed specifically for a bass guitar. Alternatively, the samples can be played at slighty higher volume on high-quality computer speakers, or headphones with good bass response. If your device has an equalizer set it to a flat frequency response.

The "Bass Loop" track was recorded with a Boss RC-20XL loopstation. All other samples were recorded direct from the bass only. The bass was strung with new, medium gauge LaBella strings.
