Include a decent-length description of your sound and its musical purpose in life, and write your full name and address on each chart.

ROUND D50 - Bass & Hammers

Paulo Andre C Mosmann, Rio De Janeiro

Paulo recommends playing the sound in the lower register for a new type of bass sound - especially if you're a fan of Depeche Mode.
