Nyar!! Tonight was record-a-bunch-of-bass-for-the-album night, but alas, it turned out that the intonation on Matt's bass is all out of whack. That means that you'll tune the beastie so that the open notes are in tune, but then fret a note further up the neck, and that note would be out of tune. After spending a good two hours trying to figure out why three band members all couldn't tune a bass properly, we finally realized what the dang problem was and called it quits.
Now...this must have just gone wrong due to the cold weather, or 'cause the instrument is pretty new, since we recorded a bunch of stuff last week that was just some temp stuff, and all those bass tracks were a-ok. In fact, listening back to it tonight, those temp tracks -- at least from the tuning point of view were still a-ok.
Well, the downside to all of this is that we still haven't recorded the bass for these tunes, and we're not going to be able to until Matt's bass gets set up -- that'll prolly take half a week or so. The upside, though, is that now I have a free half an hour to get my fat lazy ass to the gym for a little workout on the elliptical thinger. (Which'll hopefully begin the trend of me going to the gym once again -- I've been a lazy ass.)
