Blasting my ears after Jaco is done playing Donna Lee?

[climb]

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?

 

[Mr_Dave]

not quiet that extreme but i've had a similar experience

 

[alexclaber]

Yep!

I like the second song, I've always wanted to do lines like that (though I play prog metal).

 

[Rudreax]

Just set your music player to repeat that one song.

 

[AndrewSixx07032]

Happens to me whenever I try to listen to Kuru/Speak like a Child on my alarm clock's CD player.

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

 

[J. Crawford]

Im guessing youre listening the to the Essential Jaco Pastorius Album? I think thats the song order.. maybe not.

 

[lousybassplayer]

Yeah, I was gonna say thats def. the essential jaco 2 disc set, and YES, I have done this a number of times. It's part of the fun. Half the recordings on there are horrible sound quality wise.

 

[David Jayne]

I've done it over and over again. Usually in the car. Last time, I threw a cup of coffee at the passenger door.

Actually, it's just the Jaco Pastorius album. That's the song order.

 

[BananaKing]

Hahahaha......

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 "***?"

 

[Joel S.]

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.

 

[Jordan M]

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

I will admit I struggle to hear it, although most of Talkbass knows about my famous hearing issues.

 

[Lazylion]

...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...

And somewhere Jaco is laughing his a&# off...

 

[SamanthaCay]

You could listen to charlie parker's donna lee.

 

[azureblue]

or just read it from the Real Book

 

[Cyber Soda]

And somewhere Jaco is laughing his a&# off...

Lol! But in all seriousness, I kinda like that track. I can picture myself walking down the street with a tall afro and that blaring.


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

 

[Larry99]

hahaha.... that's one of the great things about it.
