Bass Riff of the Month (BRotM)#16 - Chat

stratman3142

Here's the 16th Bass Riff of the Month (BRotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until midnight 24th October 2019.

BRotM can be interpreted by the entrants, i.e. as simple or complex as they like. 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, 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. The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends.

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.

I have found I need a new graphics card - have ordered one which will be here tomorrow so I'll have to bail out this month unless there's an extension. I did the mix challenge on my work PC. My studio PC is ageing and has all my guitars and stuff - seems the drivers are causing issues with the latest Windows update.

Happy to wait if that's also OK with @poopot ;
