The first soundclip from the live show I did recently - actually, it's an excerpt from the first piece we played - we were basically jamming, setting levels, and fortunately it was caught on tape: opener
 
And a few pictures:
 


 
 

One pic of both me and Greg:
 

Harry, I must agree with you about the Chromes sound when hit with a pick. It's one of the most pliable set of flats I've used (DR's are equally as killer!) and have great fidelity for being flats. Mind you I'm using mine on a Japanese Fender Jazz with a Badass and Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder p/ups.  
BTW, how do you like the new T-3's as opposed to the original T-1's?

Yeah, I'm definitely impressed with the Chromes. I'm kind of bummed that I didn't have time to put them on my Stanley before the gig. I've got a new set of Chromes ready to go when I get the time.
 
And the Taurus 3 is awesome! I've barely begun to scratch the surface! I never owned an original set (I or II) - only used a PK-5 to trigger a Moog Little Phatty, which I really liked. I thought the T3 might be a more portable option, but it is actually very heavy and large.

So I have mixed down three things from the live performance. I was disappointed with both recordings - the Tascam I set out didn't capture the bass or Taurus pedals, and the video camera sound is much more balanced but is a low quality mp3 so the high end sounds terrible. So I combined them! I think it could still sound better, I hope to work with these recordings more (maybe rerecording the bass and Taurus on the Tascam recording for one song), but I thought I would post what I have come up with:
 
opening jam
 
8 Echo Dr. (anteria)
 
rays of sound
 
Here is an extended version of the opening jam, with just the camera sound to give an idea:
 
opening jam (extended)
 
The beginning was just jamming to make sure everything worked, but then we just kept playing!

Some more flatwound funk!
 
This is just the bass track of a jam that I did with DJ TAKA today. My 5-string Stanley Clark Signature Standard with newly-strung Chromes, into an MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter and Glockenklang Soul Head with CAJ V-COMP Tube Compressor in the effects loop - recorded direct into Tascam DR-1 recorder, but who knows how much effect the amp and compressor had on the sound?!!! It sounds pretty overdriven, not sure if that's the MXR or the compressor getting hit a little hot.
 
I should have set the filter controls more carefully, but as usual I didn't have much rehearsal/setup time so I was flying by the seat of my pants! Mostly fingers, with some thumb/slap in the middle. Loving the Chromes! Much better than the Rotos. I videotaped it too, hopefully the audio came out half-way decent so you can hear the whole thing...

Alright, here's the full version:
 
bass and turntablism
 
DJ TAKA on turntables, hieronymous on bass. This is the audio from my Canon camcorder, with the bass track I posted earlier superimposed, since my bass amp was kind of pointed away from the camera. Glad I managed to get the recording of my bass direct!

New photo:
 


 
 
And new tracks:
 
first jam
 
gotantables
 
The second track is the same song as the one I posted above as bass and turntablism but a different performance, and this time everything was recorded direct. I like my performance in the original one better, but I like the sound of this one better.

My wife took a very cool picture of the bass:
 

 
I love the lighting and the composition of the shot. This was taken at a rehearsal for a studio session - the bass sounded great - soundclips to come?

Here's another one:
 

At last, a soundclip from the Robot Envy sessions, at SoundCloud:
 
Initial Android Avarice

Nice groove!  Nice recording!

Thanks for listening Dave! There's some background to the recording of this track in this thread.

Realized that I haven't updated this thread in a while. I've posted this elsewhere, but thought I would add it here, it's a track with fuzz (Z Vex Mastotron, plays nicely with active electronics) and low-pass filter (Moogerfooger):
 
King Cat Jam
 
And here's a couple of recent pictures:
 


 
 

Thanks buddy, I simply love ZVex fuzz tone but knew that Wholly Mammoth couldn't match Active electronics. Now that I know it can be done with the Mastotron... GAS raising up!
