Different bass but you get the idea. I've tried using a harmonizer with the two octives above mixed in, it just isn't the same.

People think that Cheap Trick plays along with tapes because you jear guitar when the guitar player stops playing but it's all the bass laying down a thick backing sound.




I can get a very similar effect with my EHX Micro POG- DRY-full, SUB-1/3, UP-~1/2 and I don't hafta f---* with extra strings to try to keep in tune in 90% humidity.

They kind of borrowed the Fender ashtray that everyone manages to loose. A lot of work, no wonder why it didn't catch on. These days you just hit a button to mute.
With the original P-Bass ashtray you had to unscrew it and turn it around (PITA); at least with the Rick concept, all one had to do was a variation on the Curly Shuffle.

I sort of miss my old Micro POG.
 
It's to the growers' market this morn.

Engaged Friday with the Head of School, some faculty, and alumni for the first time since I graduated. "DR!" I exclaimed. "I haven't heard anyone say DR in 46 years!" While all on the Zoom were new to me, and I to them, I felt very good about it. How amazing, for a moment, to recall the teacher who taught me how to use a fountain pen.

DR?
Hmmm...darn right, doctor, Dahdu Ronron?
always so cryptic.
 
Rain later in the day, high heat and muggy humidity seems to be in store in the east.

We went three whole days without rain! Three - count 'em! Rain again the next several days. We'll probably be singing a different tune come July and Aug.

I'm so glad we had that sprinkler system installed in March. It's run two times since. Two - count 'em! :laugh:

I don't think you should do that, I mean being engaged to multiple people at the same time. Even though you felt good about it, someone's feelings will be hurt. :laugh:

Lucky dog. We got more rain last night. Cloudy until noon. Sun out, but I'm not holding my breath.
