Finally working on 77-829 again

I am using my vintage tube powered Conn Strobo Tuner to set the intonation today. The Conn is still one of the finest guitar and bass setup tools out there, even after all these years!
Now if the playing is out of tune, I know what the source is: me.

I did my first recording test with the bass today. To say it sounds huge is an understatement. I did a DI in using my BBE direct box. Massive amounts of low end, like a Rick on steroids.
It calls so much attention to itself that I will have to dumb it down some to get it to sit in the mix. That's not hard to do, and in fact going to other way is much harder.
I wish I could post a sound file here. I am thinking of doing a cover of  In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida with a twist, maybe letting folks add their own drum solo bits onto it for the stay-at-home crowd, if I can figure out how!

Great you got it working again, it’s such a unique looking Alembic.  I’ve done a couple distance collaborations with my nephew during the past couple of months.  He records a guitar track and sends it to me as an mp3.  I convert it to wav and import it into Audacity.  Add a bass line and send it back to him.  It’s fun!
