Club Sadowsky!!!

Thanks, I very much appreciate that. Yeah, dynamics are really important to me, and NOTES HAVE ENDINGS (in other words, space)! I'd be embarrassed to tell you how many years I played before I really understood what it took to bring a bass line to life using dynamics and space. :rollno: Well, at least I'm working on it now. Better late than never. :)

Hey Vic, when are you going to post the songs that you sing on?:D You and that Sadowsky of yours sound great!

Man, that Todd sings great and I just love Never Been Any Reason. As soon as I heard I thought of pancakes for some reason.:hiding:

We played a show with Head East last year. Not many original members left. They are some Harmony singing machines, good musicians and put on a good show. They were very good to us.

Honestly, I can sing some backup, but when you have four leads in the band, there's just no need. :)

Yep, except he doesn't sing "flat". LOL!!! :)
 
Vic,

Absolutely Amazing Tone and tight playing. # 4098 is a very special instrument. Its the bass that spoke to me when I played it. I went home and couldnt get it off my mind. That following monday I called Kevin and started my build and I am very satisfied with my decision. Thats my go to bass now. Back to Vic's recording : The vocals in Vic's band are superb, Not only does the Bass sound amazing but the Drums, Keys, Guitar and just the whole mix. WOW. ITB is a great Band.


GREAT stuff Vic! All of it was very nicely done and tight! Thanks for sharing.
 
In Japan, drooling over the Sadowsky Tokyo custom shop basses.

Hope y'all don't mind another... forgot to post this one originally. Sorry if this is getting annoying. Last one, I promise. :)

MV5 #4098, passive Radial JDI passive DI, no EQ. Sadowsky Blue SS's. Fully blended, single-coils, VTC dropped about 25% or so. Done. :)

Great playing, Vic. Not only is the band tight, you've got a veritable platoon of excellent vocalists. May I have one, please?
Thanks! :)

Yeah, don't think I don't know how lucky I am, either. I mean, I can do ok backup, but I can't sing lead, and this is literally the first band I've ever been in that could totally pull off 4 part harmonies... at least as a 5 piece. If we got together to rehearse more like we keep talking about (*sigh*), we'd be doing justice to Eagles tunes in a big way.

We're in the process of trying to get a real pro class promo pack put together and book a buncha' fancy big gigs next year via IFFA convention in the Capital in January. We've also tossed around the idea of doing a week long gig in some vacation spot for some wealthy resort and kinda' doing a band vacation thing. With all our life schedules, that'll be a big challenge to pull off... long shot, actually... but if we did, it'd be a life memory we'd all cherish forever.

Oh, and if we did, 4098 is most definitely making the trip. :)

That would be a great trip/gig. I was pretty lucky to play for almost 6 years on the coast and spent a whole lot of time in the resort setting. Pretty cool gig for sure.

I have a buddy that did the vacation gig with the band for a 2 week stint........that turned into a 12 year stint :) They went and came back only to get their stuff and return.
