Hi Ovid,
Thanks for the heads up. 'Leftybass.com', a little thing, but it's stuff like this that makes me realize just how cool the times are that we live in, (technology wise and of course disregarding all the bad things that are happening in the world). Very cool, though in quickly perusing the site I become aware of not so much that I'm no longer 'alone' so to speak but, just how small a minority I'm in, numbers/percentage wise, (chick bassist and a soloist on top of that). No big...and actually kinda cool. I'm more 'special' than I realized.
To answer your question about my looper, it's a Boss RC-50. I'm quite pleased with it, though I wish it had the Echoplex capability of 'stacking, or 'extending' or 'layering' or 'something or another/whatever it's called' (where you can extend your initial loop time when adding longer secondary phrases on top). But, for twice the price approx. and less record time? Just can't see it. Especially when on some of my tunes I lay down a multipart progression in advance to catch verse, chorus and maybe a bridge section. Doing that live can take way too much time. For example, Beck's version of 'She's a Woman'. Bass part through intro, verse and chorus section with a second loop of chording rhythm all the way through on top, then live melody. Way too long to 'set up' and do live. (I learned this when covering Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight'. When I got my synth, I said 'Cool' and went crazy when I played the bass, chords, organ, strings and maybe even piano voicings. By the time I got to where I would play melody, multi-minutes later, the crowd could and would lose interest. Bummer, though educational. Live and learn.)
And there ya go.
Regards,
Kimberly
PS. And Kimberly strikes again, using many words when few would have worked just fine! What can I say? I'm a yakker.
