Entire album with one LG-3000 !!

[quadrogong]

In a sort of important recording session, with the great Steve Holley(Paul Mcartney & Wings,Elton,Mott the Hoople)
on drums for the entire CD, it's also being produced by Richard Barone,who was the lead singer for The Bongos..two amazing talents, it's been educational,sturggling (and learning) w the same old things,keeping it simple and streamlined,and consistancy..
but to make a long story short,

I bought a good PBass,there are vintage fenders here,etc..and I really wanted to switch,but the Producer keeps saying the Roscoe sounds so perfect,"why change it?"

and it does,growly and aggressive when needed,pretty and delicate like a soft John Deacon Pbass wherever needed..it sounds amazing,AND it sounds like a lot of different basses,an amazing album..thanks to Roscoe for making me look like a Pro, and thanx to Steve Holley for helping me,guiding me and generally giving me tips and guidance along the way,a gentleman and a real good guy.
When the thing's mixed,I'll post it

btw..I went through an old Ampeg B-18 ! and a direct line into a couple of compressors..
and the Roscoe LG sounds like the punkiest,raunchiest slab of meat ever..she's got bite for such a pretty lady.

next I'm using the Kala Ubass for two tracks,gonna be nicely recorded through the tube amp..that'll sound interesting.

That's so cool!

Can't wait to hear it.



God Bless, Ray

Absolutely outstanding. Great post. Kudos on the session, and I can't wait to hear the music!

Looking forward to hearing this one for sure. I've been hankering for a Kala Ubass ever since I plugged one in at Buffalo Bros. Guitars. I was pleasantly surprised at how good that little bass sounded.

[Darkstrike]

Badass...

[quadrogong]

Yes, it's a great experience for me,
Steve Holley is the best, his ability to arrange, write parts & map out the tension/release of a song on the fly is priceless..He found flaws in the arrangement instantly & suggested corrections, all which were spot-on.

playing the ubass today, last two tracks..

[JOME77]

Cool! Sounds like you had an awesome day!
Looking forward to hearing the tracks.

The Kala Ubas would make a perfect travel bass. It sounds pretty nice on the YouTube video's too.

I am looking forward to hearing the CD. Heck, if it is good I will buy a copy of it instead of bootlegging one.

if you click on the link above, the cd's title and artist's name is there..
it's still unreleased, but soon!..(thanx)
As far as why I wanted to switch..
Well, I cut every song on the LG, minus one on ubass.
Aside from the one ubass track and some acoustic fingerpicking I did on one song, the whole cd was done with one bass. I guess if it sounds great, leave it. I always liked to mix it up, some different textures. The pickup selector took care of that, it really varied my tone. Even the lead vocalist sdid," leave it! It sounds amazing!"
my Roscoe made me look good, it performed splendidly.

We played at a bar and every hour there was a new band. You basically got 45 minutes to play. We were the 5th band to go on and after we finished I had about 5 or 6 bass players come up and comment on my tone. I always tell them they have to try a Roscoe. I have to give John Bass over in Wendell, NC credit for turning me on to Roscoe basses. He bought a sweet SKB3006, I played it once and knew I had to have one.

Roscoe is true luxury. Amen
