Lead vocal.

OK - this is going better than I thought. Groovy groove on that tune!

Good luck with it. Playing a walking bass line and singing a different melody is no easy task when you haven't done it very much. Have fun with it. Is anybody going to be there to get a video of it?

I just replaced the nut on my daughter's Squier 5-string Jazz Bass. She got it for her birthday from Grandpa but the slots were too low in the nut and I finally was able to get it taken care of. Next is new strings. One snapped near the tuning peg and is now too short to get it around the post. DOH!

No doubt just playing bass could be fun. and when I say "just playing bass" I mean vs learning Olympic caliber guitar solos...

Bass = 1 Bass, 1 DI, good 1/4 to 1/8 notes

Guitar = Amp, Cab, 20 pedals, 4 guitars + acoustic, 16th to 32nd notes

I've been finding some nice gritty places on it. Not distortion per se, but definitely a little dirty....

It was really tough shopping for DI's. I almost went eden World Tour because it had a compressor and expander...I think the IDEAL DI would be:

Clean with bass/mid/treble
Cool tone shaper switch (Slap, deep, mid shift, etc...)
Distortion - that ran from OD to fuzz, with blend, and maybe a presence or something else that kicked in when you went distortion
Compression

I'm sure there is such a thing, and that it is expensive! I guess Sansamp + distortion pedal + EQ pedal + compressor would do all that....

Actually the MXR m80 has a lot of that (clean with eq, color switch, auto color/eq when distortion is engaged, full blend, gate with trigger control) the distortion isn't really an OD or a fuzz though. If only they made a B:assmaster D.I with eq, etc...
