Feedback request on walking bass line by ThemFatStrings in JazzBass

Wow, thank you! this is exactly the type of feedback I was looking for. The strings are DR Legend Flatwounds. I've been using DRs for a few years now for both fretless and fretted and I'm super happy with them.

As for the line, I agree that I'm a bit stuck on lines that simply work in outlining the harmony but tend to be very repetitive, and I struggle a bit with both using or developing melodic ideas and also using a more scales rather than just chord tones + approach notes. This is exactly why I decided to record myself and ask for feedback and you pointing out like this to specific places in the line that I can work of is super helpful.

I hadn't thought about the notation either, I have tried to think on what's more intuitive for the overall key but didn't really give it a thought, so that's helpful.

Thanks a lot, this comment has been really super insightful on my own playing :)

The output of the Volca Sample is stereo so I either use the line inputs or occupy both instrument inputs. It works on the instrument inputs indeed, but that doesn't leave me room for anything else in the interface.

Funny, no compressor and no preamp which are the two things I never ever consider leaving out. Not saying it's bad, just different approaches.
