Description
This is a jam recorded at the home of Tamadrumbum (Paul), on 2-14-09.

The song includes cyrus0302 (Anthony), and myself. Anthony made up the song on Bass on the spot, to which I added guitar. We also added our friend Ben W. (not currently a member of MJ) on drums, while Paul sat a song or two out. Ben is a talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter extraordinaire....

I have been experiementing with echo and reverb lately. On this song I also borrowed Anthony's Ibanez Baritone guitar (tuned regular) and turned up the distortion and phaser effects along with the volume pedal.

Instruments:
Ben W:Tama Drum Set (shiny white colored), Loud Drumsticks
cyrus0302 (Anthony): Fender Jazz Bass (red colored), Peavey Microbass Amp. Plucked with sandpaper-like calloused fingers
Brian Bondietti: Ibanez Baritone Guitar with sweet humbucking picups, Peavey Classic 30 Amp, Ibanez 1.0 mm Paul Gilbert model guitar pick, lots of effects.

Recorded with a Zoom H2 Handy Recorder

The only mastering done to the track was to pan one channel hard left to bring out the bass a bit more.....

I appreciate the comments on the guitar feter. I was worrying that I was doing too much noodling! I tried to leave a little space for the bass and drums to shine thru.

yah
i do think this was one of the better moments. Too bad we couldn't have gotten a little more outa that bass. Next time I will have to bring bass cab. Good job on the riffs though, not TOO much noodling. Just enough ;)

Okay, I've listened...
...to all four, and they all sound slightly different flavors of good. I think you did a good job of whatever level setting the H2 requires, because I'm not hearing overload distortion, and I'm not hearing weird interference phasing or bass boost off the floor or anything... The sonic space is nicely laid out, and the bass in the left channel is clean, clear and deep...

I'm listening partly for the purposes of hearing what the H2 can do, but I'm also truly enjoying the playing... The downloading is for the musical enjoyment...

Thanks, guys...

thanks again
I left a detailed message of what settings were on the mike on the first of these songs I posted. It's not very complex. In all honesty, all you have to do is turn it on and push record.

I'm sure my friends also appreciated your comments, they are some good musicians and I am glad they let me post these.
