Thanks for all of your nice comments everyone!

What plucking technique are you using at 3:45 and again(?) at 3:55? It kind of sounds like sweep picking.

It's just regular 1st 2nd alternating fingers on those notes. I am also going from the G-string to the D-string quickly, so it appears to look like some sort of sweep picking thing I guess.

Awesome job! I hate most of these play along videos but this one is way too good.

What's an IB??

Pre-University course, for 11th+12th grade. I'm taking music as one of my courses and as part of our assessment, we need 15 minutes of recorded performance on our chosen instrument.

Great tone. What was your setup? Did you run two amps and/or effects on separate pickups? Im just starting to mess with Ric-o-Sound on my new Ric and Im always interested to hear how people are running things.

I have the Jazz Bass wired in stereo with each pickup going to their own GK MBE III combo amp. The bridge pickup has the treble cut a bit and the bass up a bit with the mids about flat with just a tad more lo-mid than hi-mid. The neck pickup has a bit more mids than the bridge but the treble and bass are the same as for the bridge pickup settings. The contour setting is around 10:30 on each amp as well. I ran the two signals post-EQ to a small Samson Mixpad 9 and then out to the VCR.

The bridge pickup is in the left channel and the neck pickup is on the right. I didn't pan them hard left/right, I left just a tad of bleed but not much so I would have good seperation.

No effects at all.

 

[factorplayer]

are you also playing synth pedals too?

Yes. There is a set of Moog Taurus I pedals on the floor.

 

[worxforme]

Man I just watched that again and I realized why your playing is so great on that song, you ARE Geddy!

Seriously, that's a great job.

Oops, I didn't see your response above. Way to go, bro!

Dumb question here....VCR?
Stereo jack-> EQ -> Mixpad -> GK MBE's ???

Yeah, VCR. The mini dv camcorder dosent have an audio imput so I have to use a VCR to record and then that gets copied to a dvd. I know hi-tech!

Stereo jack split to the two GK MBE's, XLR direct post EQ out to the Samson Mixpad 9. Audio directly out to the VCR.

Nothing more I can add really. Awesome playing, but incredible tone. I've been toying lately with the idea of picking up a cheap Jazz and modding it to stereo - I think you've just convinced me.
