Sign in to disble this ad
Everytime I listen to Jaco's debut record, I'm straining to hear Donna Lee. The recording is a little muddy and the bass is a little hard to hear clearly. So I do the natural thing and crank up the volume.
Then it ends. And before I know it (usually my head is right next to the speaker at this point), BAM! The horns of Come On, Come Over come screaming out of my speakers and nearly rupture my eardrums. I scramble frantically for the volume to adjust it. This same thing has happened to me multiple times; guess I'm a slow learner...
happen to you yet?

I have it set to blast so I wake up, but when I want to listen I forget to turn it down....

First time I listened to that CD.
I was sitting there, plucking along to my bass while the song was going on.
Afterwards, I went to pick up my CD case (Right beside the speaker) and the horns almost killed me
I actually remember dropping the case and shouting "***?"

| | Reserved for future witty use... | | | | | There's a song by the New Mastersounds called Carrot Juice. The intro is REALLY quiet, then the song comes on nice and loud.
I've almost crashed many times because I'd turn my stereo WAY up to hear the intro, then BOOM super loud tune.

In fact, it may be time to buy a boombox.
