Thought I would be brave and post a home recording - my first on this site ;D

Not a Shadow's tune, and it doesn't use the Hall & Collins echo unit
, as I recorded this back in 2005.
It's a remake of an old (1968?) surf instrumental, composed and originally recorded by Australian band The Sunsets - some of who's members later became Taman Shud. I always liked the slow & dreamy feel of this composition.
The guitar is my 62 RI strat, with a (then) Dimarzio FS in the bridge position. There isn't a backing track, as such. Drums, Bass and Rhythm guitar were recorded track by track, in the same session, using Cubase vst. Bass is a Fender Precision, Rhythm is a Telecaster, drums were played on an Edrum kit, the midi trigering samples in the BFD drum instrument. (BFD is an amazing accoustic drum module). All the guitars were DI'd dry into a delta 1010 audio/PC interface. No mikes or amps. The reverb (there's lot's of it - on lead and rhythm) and delay were from a plugin called Amplitube. The only mic used was for the vocal during the intro. Surf music...........
