Homeskoolin’ Bonus “On The Job....(Analog Version)"

Ойын-сауық

Uncle Larry plunkin' on his old '59 P bass in his natural habitat once again...
ya' know come to think of it, I've actually had that old bass longer than 95% of my other instruments, i remember buying that thing back in 2007, right after getting booked on a very lucrative Faith Hill tour haha.
Working at one of my alltime favorite studios all week, Reel Recording in Nolensville TN, a magical place that was conceived, built and operated by the one and only Shannon Forrest.
Mr. Forrest is an absolute genius, current drummer of Toto and formerly of Steely Dan and Mike McDonald.
The boy is an expert on 2” tape machines and cool analog gear in general, and one of the finest recording engineers in the world...the sounds he gets in his place are simply fucking unBELIEVABLE, for lack of a better word.
You may remember we cut the whole Plexi Soul record there years ago.
When you work at Shannon's place you are taken back in time, hearing the sound of real analog tape machines and using giant racks full of the OG hardware versions of all the legendary pieces of outboard gear that all these plug ins that people use nowadays are modeled after.
It's just the coolest shit ever, and not only does Shannon REALLY know how to operate all that vintage gear, the boy knows how to fix all of it too.
A true renaissance man...i would be afraid to find out what his IQ actually is.
I literally cannot find the words to describe how good that old analog tape sounds when you are standing there at that beautiful old SSL console.….it’s still the best sounding shit I have ever heard to this day. The shit that it does to drums and guitars is just magic.
I'm producing a record out there all week for a dear gal from Rochester named Kathy Wilson.
Got a smokin little combo together consisting of Shannon on drums…Jerry McPherson, John Shanks and myself on guitars and basses....and sweet Timmy Lauer on keys.
Lots of fun.

    Really love these fly on the wall peeps into studio time. I’m in construction, I spent an entire season putting up stages rigging for various bands and festivals. Best bit for me was watching them sound check, watching them get every drum violin what ever was needed . Those guys were so interesting to talk to. . That whole music vibe was very cool. Same taste here. Sublime.

    Right On! Makes sense to me my friend seeing the sound recording off a 2' tape reflects the same sound dynamics natural to human ear AKA "analog sound." 🙉 Some people feel the sound quality they hear in digital sound has a clear & cleaner sound to the ear, which may be true is some cases. However, they're mistaken to think that analog sound isn't more pleasant to the ear when listening to their favorite jams! No bout a doubt it, cuz there's definitely a difference if they just really sit down & listen for it, ya dig? 🤔 Just saying... +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘

    Hey Tom. My dad bought a 1959 P Bass in 1960 from a local music store in Louisville, KY. A few years later he did a show in Nashville opening up for Tennessee Ernie Ford. The bass player for Tennessee was playing through a pair of 1956 Fender Bassman tween 4x10 combos. Turns out he was from Floyds Knobs, IN just across the bridge from Louisville. My dad bought one of them from him. So I still have the 59 P Bass and the 56 Bassman. Very cool. In fact when Stevie Ray recorded In Step his guitar tech called me and tried to buy the Bassman from me but my dad wouldn’t sell it. My dad passed in 2012. I’m glad I kept both of them. The bass and amp are both mint. Glad to see you playing yours.

    12 years ago we were gigging "live bands all day" (all 2 of us LOL) at a large new campground. We had just gone on, and in the first or second tune, and my phone blows up. After 10 or more times I found a moment to look. My wife had stopped at a yard sale. Their was a bass there that their kid had left when he moved out many years ago. My wife said they wanted $200 for it. I looked at the pics, it was a Fender P-bass, Custom Shop w/all appropriate CS markings! I said, pay the man and get it in the car ASAP! All she had left was $146. They took it, and she had it! Beautiful burst, Custom Shop, fretless bass!! I never pulled the neck to check date, it played so perfect! Nobody else wanted it, they thought w/missing frets it was broken! I went back to the older peoples house 10 days later and told them what it was. I also told them if I ever sold it I would give them 1/2 of what I got over $146!! It's not for sale!! LOL My other one is a converted ES type body w/fretless neck. Yuck! LOL That one is a backup now. When I loose the coin toss for playing bass, I have a nice one to do it with!! Sorry so long 8( Peace --gary
