Guys, I played two festivals and live on national radio this weekend. All in 16 hours time, so no sleep:) I decided to use the '73 Ric for all gigs. I'll post some pics later, but here's a link to four vids:

For the sound nerds. It was just the bass and a Radial DI.

Great sound, for the whole band! I still have to listen to the rest as I got to go to the lab, now, but the first song is nice and punchy, very tight, much more studio-like than live.

Chris, is in the Bassbone? I'll give a listen later...gotta get to work.

Great sounding band! Thanks for sharing.

Sounds great. I've seen some wonderful clips out of that room! Hallowed ground indeed. Great performance.

Thanks guys!

It was just the standard green passive DI.

I always have to think of Tom Petty when I hear our singer. Also when I saw him with his former band in the past. But we don't hear that often from other people.

Awesome!! I only listened to the first song since I'm on vacation in the mountains and have a lousy slow WiFi hook up. I liked the song a lot! I'll listen to the rest when I get back! Congratulations!!!

Thanks Sepp!

Okay, I got to listen to all of the songs. The engineer at the station did a great job of mixing the band, and I see you guys had the ability to mix your own headphone feeds, always a good thing to feel natural in those kind of situations. Once again, it sounded more studio-like than radio station live playing. I did a few of those when I was in Rare Blend and we never sounded that good, IMHO.

Thanks again! Yeah, we had like eight tracks to mix for our own headphone mix, so I could dial in more or less bass, vocals, everything. I could even do some EQing. the guy at the station did us before and he does an awful lot of bands, so he knows what to do.

After doing a lot of local stations and this 3FM (national pop/ rock station) several times with my former band too, I know how to play there. Only the cameras were a bit new:)
