BUILD - NYC Vintage P-Bass w/ PJ pups

[IntenseJim]

Thought I'd post another clip of my build w/flats since it's been awhile.
This is an overlay on my friend Roman Riccio's Elton John cover of "Your Song". He recorded this in his apartment using a high end vocal mic & electric keyboard.
The Bass Settings: Pan @ detent, VTC @ full up, Bass preamp - bass flat & treble @ 20% boost.
Used a Great River ME-1NV preamp & dbx160a comp & recorded the mix direct on an Olympus LS10.
The YouTube upload was set for HD so use the 720p HD setting on the right of the progress bar. That'll give you a bonus resolution of the still shot of the Sad' as well.    if you hit the full screen setting - the bass looks REAL good @ 720p HD.  (this is not a video)
You may like to check out Roman's original video of it while you're there.

Nice playing. Really nice and sweet.

RIP Dee Murray. He was amazing, esp on GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD CD/LP.

Here's a link to my Youtube channel. Some of the overdubs have been blocked on copyright grounds.  I'll add more clips of my Sadowsky build from time to time. The still photo of the bass shown indicates the one used for the clip. These aren't videos at present. Only audio. (I'm not much to look at anyway).

Edit: Hosting site folder of the Eagles overdubs I just did. Not as good audio as what I get on YouTube but it's OK for iPod listening I guess. I've noted the bass settings for each song.

Build sound clip: Steely Dan "Babylon Sisters" overdub - 2ND TAKE. Hopefully I nailed the pitch this time.    The life of an overdub artist is not easy.

Hey Blair,

I just subscribed to your YouTube channel. It would be great if you start filming your overdubs so we can not only hear, but see what your hands are doing.

I got the Zoom Q3HD and it has a Line In where you can connect a stereo signal from your recording setup and use that audio with the movie.

Done! Gonna go get some lessons at the Apple Store soon. I'm kinda busy w/ G.L. at the moment Fran.  

Here's a new folder of some overdubs of some of my favorite Gordo songs re-done w/ the Sad' build. "Soul Food" for me. I'll add to it from time to time.

Here's an overdub of my favorite of Gordo's songs w/ the Sad', done just a few days ago.  Food for the heart for me.

Just thought I'd post some new eye candy of the build. It's been with me over 14 months now.

14 months! 

I love it! It's such a beautiful burst...and the two tone fingerboard is simply amazing.

I'm still waiting on some videos...

I have some pretty exciting memories of cracking the box back then Fran. A day for gifts as I'm sure you recall.
It definitely is a special slab alright. I could ride that wave all the way home.  
The light / dark aspect of the fretboard 2 tone appearance is not nearly as obvious in real life. The lighting in photos makes it pop out more.
At the risk of repeating myself here, Roger does a very special job of truing his fretboards up high.

So proud of my build that I put a couple o' pics in frames awhile ago. I put the tort PG on it but the mint still is a fav w/me. Nice to be able to swap 'em out for a change of pace if I like.

Those are two cool shots. I'd love to have a photo of my PJ with Roger in it.
