Listening to the way that the bass sounds, I'm kind of surprised I played it with a pick, though I definitely remember doing so because I do some pinch harmonics at the end. It's kind of a mushier sound than I normally go for, but I think it works in context.
Finally was able to upload a pic from the session:
This has everything - the 4003, the Alembic F-2B, the Budda Phat Bass, and the 1977 Rhodes MARK I Stage Piano Seventy-three. There's actually a story behind the Rhodes. I arrived at the studio this time around, and said, "wow, cool Rhodes" and my friend who owns the studio says, "oh yeah, that used to be yours!" During college (almost 20 years ago) one of my first college bands used to rehearse at someone's house, and when they moved they told the drummer, hey there's a keyboard in the attic - want it? It was an old Rhodes, no sustain pedal, so he took it, but he didn't play, so it ended up in the basement of my house. I had it set up with a little amp, but hadn't played keyboards since I was a kid, so it ended up being forgotten. Fast-forward to 2002, both my folks had passed away, so I was back in Mass. to clean out the house and sell it. A friend of mine who's involved in music was interested in the keyboard, so off it went to live at his friend's rehearsal studio. I pretty much forgot about it. But apparently it also sat unused and abused at the rehearsal studio, so the guy who inherited it passed it on to Damon, the owner of Oxbow Studios where I record. So it's BACK!
I would love to have a real Rhodes at home - I have a Nord Electro since it has both organ and Rhodes sounds, but definitely nothing like the real thing. I love the sounds Jan Hammer gets on the
Inner Mounting Flame album, and the various Rhodes sounds on the early electric Miles stuff (played by Josef Zawinul, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Keith Jarrett), so it was a real thrill to incorporate some of those sounds on this recording (I have one more in the can too, it'll appear soon). Of course, I can't play like those guys, but it was a real kick to jam along with the stuff we had just recorded, cranked through the control room speakers!
Oh, and thanks for the video too! Mudbucker sighting (I think), at 6:54...
