Call me master of the obvious...

OK, so I've had my G&L ASAT for a year & a half or so. I've raved about it's looks, features, cool styling & general tones in a band setting.

Well, I haven't had the opportunity to properly record with it....until now.

Oh

My

God

Man, you can't deny the sheer, unadulterated power of those MFD's. I recorded the main track active/series/both pick ups into my hybrid amp with the tube drive off through a 15".
Then for the chorus I went passive via a Little Big Muff through all the same settings.

Jesus H tapdancin' Christ - that is one B-I-G tone! The song is kind of over the top to begin with, but the massive G&L tones are just pure evil.

All you boys here already realize the power I know....it just makes me kind of sad for those that aren't quite G&L savvy.

Because they are missing quite the opportunity....


Sorry to point out what is really common knowledge, but no one else would really understand now would they?!

Got a pic of you playing it?

Would it be weird playing an ASAT in a Metal band setting? Hmm...

I wouldn't really categorize ourselves as metal, but there are definitely some heavy moments...

Oh yeah, you guys are totally metal...

I don't know much about recording, but wouldn't series be too noisy to record with? I haven't owned many G&Ls, but whenever I flip to series in a live setting I get noticeable background hum.

Studios tend to be far quieter than stages are. A good shielding job on the control cavity helps with this immensely.

One engineer I worked with didn't really look at my bass when we set up to record. When I started tracking with my SB-2 he actually stopped the session to ask me what kind of bass that was. His ears told him that something is different about this "P-bass."

Hahaha, ok, I said metal because I wanted to see a pic of it being played slung low (Which he did)

All the pics I saw were the bass being strapped high.

Yeah man...we're like metal for the elderly. Cast Iron if you will...
