Introducing “Dead Enough”

[sonicus]

Hello Paul,
Thanks so much for the compliments. Philip Gangi has been active in the San Francisco music scene as a freelance photographer for many years. He did several videos of shows that I played bass in while I was in DEAD GUISE. The sound that you are hearing is just the integral equipment that is installed and connected to the hand held DSLR that he uses to make his videos. He has not provided services as a sound or audio person. I actually would be pleased if he made use of a tripod to steady his shots at times .  He is quite prolific however in what he does his way, and he is quite a positive and congenial person.  My bass “stage sound”, is the Alembic sound with the interface or preamp EQ attenuated per my ears to in what my opinion best suits the specific individual scenario.

Enjoyed both videos!

Stage dog is a nice touch.

Sounds great, looks like you guys were had a good time

Thanks!   We’re really excited about the band’s potential.  We need to work a bit on intros, outros, and transitions, but we’re all quite pleased with the results of our first gig.  Here’s a couple more where we played a couple of tunes that are not associated with the Dead, but what we think they would sound like “Deadized”.

Bill, tgo

Nice West LA Fadeaway. I was anxious to hear what you would play behind the lead guitarist, (because this has kinda' become one of my go-to warm-up tunes for guitar) but I got totally wrapped up in what bassline choices Wolf was making! Well done!

[rv_bass]

Very nice, and those song combinations work well

[pauldo]

Really nice.   Great musicianship.

 Mine sincerest gratitude doth I bestow thee all for such words of encouragement and kindness. In keeping fluidity of my various choices in variations of what notes that I might play whilst welding them into the harmonic structure, supportive with the drummer; I am once in a while actually somewhat pleased with what I have played. For this gig, I would choose to claim that " Sugaree"& “Wharf Rat” meet such criteria with regard to what I had played on bass. I like to work with an attentive drummer in this genre, and I feel that this drummer does justice to what I am trying to do as a bassist for these tunes. The last drummer in Dead Guise also did such.
