Today, we tracked drums and bass, and we got all the songs done in about 6.5 hours, 9.5 hours if you include multiple breaks and setup. On the drums, we had the Mighty Mason Ingram, who has always been incredibly consistent and versatile. I've had him on many sessions, and he's always delivered. Mason recently got himself an amazing sounding Ludwig Black Beauty, and I was very happy he brought it to the session.
On the bass, we had Ben Mars, who was born to play bass. His fingers are literally 1 1/2" longer than mine. In addition to having mad chops, he also happens to have THE BASS RIG. This morning, he brought in a 1963 Ampeg B-15 and a vintage p-bass also from the 60s. I did a mental jawdrop in my head when I saw it. It's basically the combo that all the Motown bass players use, and boy it did it sound good.
Anyways, I'm very proud of the work the guys did today. I'll be tracking Elise and Christer for the rest of the week. Stay tuned for more blog posts about the studio.
