Naviarhaiku128 - Evening slight return



Here's the bassline that inspired a previous Naviar Haiku track, which ended up with an orchestra.

I really love the woody tone my cheap Ashton bass gets from the neck pickup with the flatwound strings. Not many basses have neck pickups, which is one reason why I use this bass guitar as much as I do.

Another reason is it's semi-acoustic, which means I can pick it up and hear ideas quickly. And the flatwound strings are great when I'm out of practice because my fingers don't need thick callouses to run up and down the fretboard.

You can also hear I've doubled the guitar part and panned it to the sides with delay. There's also a bit of reverb all round.
