Last year I made a couple of videos of me and my buddy GregDeGuglielmo playing. One in particular hasn't gotten many hits, so I thought I would post it here:
My ever-faithful '76 4001 ATG played with a pick through a Custom Audio Electronics V-Comp tube compressor, Glockenklang Soul Head, and Epifani 2X10 cabinet, recorded with the mic on the video camera. It's only a little over a minute long - the original was longer, but I messed up so I edited it down! We were improvising in 7/4, and I have a tendency to add a beat here and there...

It worked! Yesterday "Lotus Throne..." had the most hits out of all my videos. But today nobody's watched it, so maybe this will bump it back up.
In the meantime, here's two versions of the same song:
I think I posted them both before, but not together. The bass is distorted on the studio recording; the video version is clean. I hadn't played my bass clean in a while - it was nice for a change!

I decided that to make the subject title a little less cryptic, I would post a total of seven links. (Also, I don't have any other songs in 7/4!) Here's one of the oldest studio recordings I have of my '76 Autumnglo 4001, dating back to the summer of 2002:
Kind of an atypical sound, for me anyway - not bright and clanky or distorted. I think the strings had seen some use and were mellowed. I even got an email from someone asking how I got the sound. If I remember correctly, I was playing it with fingers, through my Fodera Model 2000 preamp, direct into the board. I might have some amp sound mixed in there too - an Eden Traveller head through Epifani 2X10 cabinet, but I don't remember. The track was spontaneously composed by myself, Greg DeGuglielmo on drums (in the above tracks as well), and Gary Backstrom, an amazing guitarist who still plays around the Boston area. We were in a band called Jiggle the Handle together in the early '90s, they kept going after I left, becoming simply Jiggle, and now he has his own group, the Gary Backstrom Band.
We were warming up in the studio, and fortunately the engineer had the presence of mind to hit record!

The first video kind of begs for another instrument, although I would argue that it is quite danceable. Just bring in some hippies, and I bet they wouldn't just stand and stare.
The second video is fine how it is, it sounds full.

Thanks for the comment. Incorporating bass pedals was such a huge thing for me - makes much more sense when I just play with my drummer.
