Title: Finally got around to it
Post by: dannobasso on September 14, 2009, 07:01:14 PM: I finally tried doing a little video using my laptop. Just a noodle session to see what would happen. The sound ain't great but its a virgin attempt. Ya may find it interesting or not. It does have some pick playing so purists be forewarned.

So, how'd you record? Bass tone is great, but there's a lot of hiss.

Actually the sound wasn't too bad - however the video lagged and jumped a bit

just a little stretch from your usual stage personna.

Give us more mello danno! Break out some of the other Alembics too.

Post by: dannobasso on September 18, 2009, 12:04:45 PM: Thats a hipper tune than my first song on bass. Cold Gin by KISS. My stage persona playing is a lot more peddal-like. My description is I'm the angry guy driving the bus.

LMAO - That is a real good descriptor. . . I get a good visual from it.

I though everyone's first song was Smoke On The Water? It was for me! :-D

You should try singing a little...you know, maybe some Wavy Gravy, Donovan....

Post by: dannobasso on September 19, 2009, 11:46:12 PM: Funny you should mention, I'm actually known for my singing, lead and backup. Took a lesson with Melissa Cross, did a brief demo at NAMM and shared a mic with Randy Blythe of Lamb of God.

Post by: smokinbear on September 20, 2009, 08:17:28 AM: Arghhhhhh!!!! I just walked into my living room and my Distillate is all backwards. You underestimate the powers of the mighty Alembic, now whut do i do??? I guess i'll have to watch youtube posts of you Danno so keep em coming and if you can, play the other way so my bass goes back to normal!!! You Rock!!!!

If you turn your monitor upside down, Danno's bass will be pointing in the right direction, and the spell will be broken, returning your Distillate to its proper orientation.
