I could, but am already going down a darker path...

no, but you get a rim-shot and a bump-pah
That sequence just made my day after a pretty rough 2 hours 40 minutes of meetings.
Anyways:
I think Carl told me 4 of the Chis worked. At any rate, he said they couldn't run all 6 at one time because the magnetic pull actually bent the strings!Yup...earth shattering
On reality ...only 3 worked....but still a funny looking bass...way over the top.....as spinal tap always was.....
He player this at a national earth day concert.....even more irony ...made especially for that concert
OK....so I finally figured it out!
Doggone windows explorer!!!
Chrome seemed to work.
for comparison:
Blue Velvet (55-07 with humbucking CHis and Marcus Miller rounds):

We were a little pressed for time so there are a couple mistakes here and there, but overall I think it came out pretty good! Yes, those are dueling guitars towards the end![]()
Yes, yes it does meet my test. You were writing it that way every time, so I actually held back for a while, hehe.
Clips sound good!

Thanks guys! Pretty sure that recording was done with the bass set flat and all 3 coils active into a VT Bass pedal.
Who do I pm for a number? I know I've seen it a million times but I can't seem to remember.
Well...44-94 is off to Belguim! Scheff still available!
