By Matt /Oct. 14, 2010 / Comments

As mentioned in the latest episode of Static Noise, we are now taking bass entries for the GDA Record a Song project.

The winning drum entry was sent in to us by Jeff Strong. His entry was very good so it sets the bar high for bass entries. You can listen to and/or download his entry on the [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/projects/recordasong.php]Record a Song page[/turl]. Also on that page, you can submit your bass track.

Bass entries will be due October 19th by 2:00pm EST. You can read all the details by clicking here.

Edit: We stress that entries MUST FOLLOW THE RULES or they will NOT be accepted. The rules are stated on the page linked above.
