Here's the 8th Bass Riff of the Month (BRotM) Challenge.
The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 11:30pm on 23rd September 2018.
BRotM can be interpreted by the entrants, ie as simple or complex as they like, to encourage as many as possible to get involved. It could be anything from a single RAW bass track to a full mix of instruments. However, the focus must be on the bass riff.
The bass riff needs to be created using a real stringed bass instrument.
Aim to keep it to a maximum of 50 seconds. This is about riffs, not songs.
Send your entry (as an mp3) to brotm@thefb.co.uk
Include your forum name in the email.
Voting will start soon after the submission deadline of 23rd September 2018, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.
First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point.
Voting will end on 11.30pm 30th September 2018.
The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.
No prizes. It's just for fun.
As people submit their entries, I'll post them below to hopefully promote some discussion on approaches used.
It's not a competition.

That makes the first entry.
I've got an incentive to record something soon. I've just got a new bass. Only a Squier Vintage Modified PJ bass, but I'm well pleased with it.
getting too old for 150bpm
At least one more entry is needed, otherwise I think it's best to keep things running into next month.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
