I have a nice new interface here waiting to do some recording. I'm busy for the next week or so and then going on vacation, but upon my return I plan to get some clips of my basses made. There are going to be a couple new Roscoes in the house and new (to me) pickups and preamp in my SKB so it will be worth documenting anyway  |

Looking forward to hearing those clips Jeff.

Great sound and playing Jon!
You hit on quite a few styles of playing on those tunes. Great sounding group too!
What did you guys record it on? Very good quality.
You need to sell me one of those Roscoe's of yours! My Elrick 6 just sold and I badly need to get back into the Roscoehead fold! |

| | | | Dang, between all those clips, there's a lot going on. a lot of awesome at that.
Especially love the tapped line.

| | | | Ok, here's my synopsis.
Your playing individually is awesome, and your band seems to gel with each other very well. Your singer kinda sounds like Brandon Boyd from Incubus at times, to me... Not a bad thing.
From a purely Roscoe perspective, your JJ speaks to me more. The Monkeyman seems to sit in the mix more, while JJ stands out without being obtrusive. My 2 cents. All around... Very impressive! |

Oh, I guess I could be more specific. Ahem:
Dooooooooooooooooooood.
There. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: Niagara Falls, ON, Canada | | I'm loving the bass(es) sound, the playing and the band. Just killer. I also like the (non-Roscoe content) acoustic clips you guys put up on youtube. Great stuff with the RA.
The Monkeyman is just ridiculous. Like a Stingray only way better. If I thought buying one would make me sound as good as you I'd do it right now, but alas it will not. That won't stop me from possibly doing it anyway at some point |

| | Cogito Ergo Idiot | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: SF Bay Area, CA | | | Ok, removing tongue-from-cheek...my last post was just for Jon, since he gave me the honor of a sneak listen yesterday.
Just damn. Great, great band. And boy do they have the right cat in the bass chair. Jon, you're killing it. Tone aside, the lines are spot-on, the grooves are THIS deep, and the band sounds better with your presence. I really, really love how you complement the drummer, and I would even drink some of Greg's Bud Light if I could hear you guys live.
Random notes...
The drummer's snare sound. KILLER. It makes me smile, and couldn't be more perfect.
The MM thing is an absolute mystery to me. I just get in the same room with one, and cats shriek, women hide their small children, and the gendarmes show tazers and tear gas. You, on the other hand, sound magical. A total, "Ahh...that's how it should be," moment.
Now, the JJ? Oh my. As Damon alluded, this one just does it for me. I remember hearing my red devil recorded for the first time, and hearing your cut above put that same smile on my face. Great formula, and your bass...in your hands...is pure candy for the ears.
Great music, my man. There is no pleasure in life like listening to the good stuff, and this qualifies. |

You get used to it.
Worst it ever happened, I was jamming, and cranked the bass dial high on the bass I was using(for teh muddy lulz), sounded like pure crap. Guitarist says "dang, you should leave it like that all the time! Can I have a go?" So I handed him the bass, and he played this super slick chunky funk, sounded awesome. Handed me back the bass, and it sounded like crap again. Bah, banjo here I come....

After having so many basses that I can't remember them all, I've definitely found my "home." Other than the Rob Allen, there's no place in my stable for a non-Roscoe. I'm just that spoiled.
Jerry, the thing with the MMs is, you have to give them time. That jangly sound is there, in spades, when that bass is solo'd (like the beginning of "Life"), but disappears one the band comes in. There's definitely something to that sound.
And you ALL are right about the jazz - that bass is SICK! |

Even the RA stuff (I admit to having a lust for a Deep 5).  |
