New Bass Day! Picked up this G&L Tribute JB in Lake Placid Blue at Crossroads Music in Port Townsend, WA. Thanks to Sara for letting me spend the afternoon checking out the bass with my recording equipment and pedals.
I have 2 Spector basses; a NS-2A and 5XL both with LHZ-2 HazLabs preamp clones. 2 Precisions; a Frankenstein and a Riggio Papa Bass (on loan from Jarod Owen). A Hohner B Bass, a Stagg EUB and a Kala U-Bass. But didn’t have a Jazz Bass in my collection until now. Thank you Crossroads Music so much for the beautiful bass! The tone was exactly what I was hoping for. I love the body color and block inlays in the Rosewood neck.
The signal chain is TC Electronic Spectra Comp, SansAmp Bass Driver DI v1 to my Midas MR18 mixer to MacBook.
Original live performance from the Band Name Hollow, 2023 Reunion San Francisco celebration at Redwood City Elks Lodge, CA on September 30, 2023.
