Club Sadowsky!!!

Nice. I like everything... fat tone, but you can still hear the notes, nice groove.

Isn't it amazing how good the quality of these little recorders is now? No more of those horrible camera phone things.

Great band I like the FOH recording where you can hear crowd, and bar sounds in the mix! Sadowsky sounds great as well.
thanks for sharing:D

+1 to both! :)

Thanks!!! I think every one of these clips showcases this magical ability to sound both thick AND present in the mix. I go for a very dark tone, and yet I just can't seem to obscure it in a mix. Somewhere I've got some clips with some slapping, and even with the flats it sounds perfect.

And +1 to the advent of these cool little handheld recorders. To think that I have the same quality of sound as those old hippies I used to see at shows with DAT machines and hi-end condenser mics, in something the size of a remote control. :hyper:
 
Wheh! Thanks for posting all these pics again, I almost forgot what basses you guys had and there is NO record of them in the previous 20 versions of this thread! I feel much better now....

;) :hiding: :p :eyebrow: :) :D :help:
Ok, that'll be enough from you, picture hater... ;) :D :D

I am terrible @ taking pics. The NYC is much more Beautiful in person than the photos show. The BE board stands out much more in person. I dont have a tripod and know nothing about taking pics.

NYC

UV-70

I recognize that UV70 and the floor! :-) The key to good pics is cheap tripod ($15 at radio shack) + no flash + the timer (so the camera has time to stop moving after you press the button). Works pretty well for me.
 
Hey guys, my band Spillway finally got the new website up. Don't ask me about Google and Go Daddy to get our web address moved! Ugh!

Anyway, here are two tracks that were both recorded with my NYC Vintage 4 (alder, maple, single coils) into an Avalon U5. First time in the studio for me in many, many years.

Sound great, keep it up!
 
Congrats to all you guys for the great clips of your Sadowsky basses & your fine bands. I think we've got sompin' here.

ElMon, I'd love to see you guys park a dig recorder right out front & bring it home. I did that w/ a friend's Steely Dan cover band at a club ( lots of ambience) & it was WORKIN' ! Will host "AJA" from that if anyone is interested. (no Sad' but it's THERE)

Rob, congrats on your new site & love music from the south bro! (& may ALL Sad' players find a U5 in a basket on the porch!)

sok monkee, I heard your stuff before - FAT & great vid man!

Timothy, THAT'S as good as it gets for tone. well done.

nv3o, very original & love that dirty talkin' !

Mike, That Kenny Nelson audio is off the chart man! So you CAN groove. :D

Bartman, thanks for the demo clip of your band. You have a great tone bro. Is that the Pat Travers gig that you played? (re the pics)

I'll get some overdubs w/ my Sad' PJ up soon.

A great big +1 really have enjoyed all the great clips, and video today very inspiring :bassist:
 
I lucked out on that U5. The week we were going in the studio, I stopped in Guitar Center (something I try not to do if at all possible) to get a Monster Cable. I asked the guy about the U5 thinking I'd like to try it and he says that all he has is a used one! Walked right out the door with it! It is a great piece for going direct that allowed me to sit right next to the drummer and record "live".
 
Well, you can add me back in to the owner's list.... somehow my 5-24 turned into a RV-5!
