Here is a recording of G. Mraz with a better recorded bass sound (and mix) - there is a more (natural) attack and a nice "thump" at the beginning of his 1/4 notes. It sounds like pickup + mic in a studio recording.
I would love to hear ONLY the mic, for comparison.
IMFO, of course.
Thx.

Here is a beautiful recording of G. Peacock with M. Copeland.
Sounds like mostly mic, nice attack and thump, natural decay, etc.
Great tune, as well.
IMFO, of course.
Thx.

Gary and Marc Would come to Washington University frequently for a concert. The sound on this recording is a much better representation of
what Gary's sound was live. Last December when Marc came with Billy Kilson, Drew Gress played bass and it was exquisite.

Years ago when I was looking at buying the Audio Technica ATM35, I found a post on a forum by the guy who recorded the Keith Jarrett Live at the Deer Head Inn album. Gary was recorded without the pickup, just the ATM35 (was that the name?) in between the bridge feet.

Fascinating thread for me, folks - lots of things for me to listen to, gear to research.

Thanks very much.

Was excited to see this posted as I got my tuchas handed to me the other night when it was my turn to blow on this tune, same tempo, no drums (guitar/piano/bass trio). Was hoping to hear Mraz take a solo. Still great to hear the rhythm section and Richie’s playing on it.
Definitely had a front edge to it.
