Is the 12" radius correct? Sorry to not know these things, but the neck info was not on the invoice like it usually is... |

Once you get another G&L JB in stock, you should gather up the G&L, Suhr, Tuttle and Lull and do a good old-fashioned "Jazz-off". I'd love to hear how they all sounded next to each other (maybe have an active round and a passive round). You could even add in a Roscoe with Jazz pups.
Just a thought....

Owner, Rocket Music | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Blacksburg, VA | | Danny brought in a blast-from-the-past recording project from some earlier days of The Electric Woodshed. I'm not even sure what year the project was undertaken, but I'm guessing the late 90's.
I've added a new bass track to the first half of the tune using this new Tuttle bass, and I think it sounds right at home in this style of southern blues rock. I'll keep working to add more bass line after the current fade-out, there's plenty more to the tune. 
The drums are some ancient canned drums that sound pretty awful. But Danny is on rhythm guitar, and Craig Counts is on lead and vocals. There are also some horns that I removed from the mix, just 'cause they're not so hot. It needs some organ or something. I'll probably finish the bass track, redo the drums track, and then either add some organ or some better horns. We'll see where it goes. But for now, you get to hear this killer bass. I REALLY am loving it. The more I think about it, the more I think there's a 4-string in my future... "I Can't Believe" (Craig Counts, Dan Dunlap)

Owner, Rocket Music | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Blacksburg, VA | | I've finished the bass part and started updating the drum parts for this "new" Shed tune. I'm probably 60-70% done with the drums, it still needs more/better fills and a slightly altered beat for the outro.
Man, I am LOVING this bass!!! First, I started just appreciating the super comfortable 4-string neck, but now I'm falling in love with the passive Alder/RW tone. It just screams "Electric Woodshed" to me. I might be done for on this one, it may not be on the market by the end of next week...  "I Can't Believe (Mix 2)" (Craig Counts)
And here's the nekkid bass track in all it's glory. Pardon the playing, but please do admire the killer tone! "I Can't Believe (Mix 2, Bass Only)" (bass played by moi) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
