In the thread a few months ago, there was some interest in a copy of the 2005 Gibson Pit CD. So I've uploaded it to Mediafire @ 192kbps: http://www.mediafire.com/?tsaa35exj1i4rry
I've tagged the tracks and included a cover scan. I'll leave it up for at least 30 days.
If anyone has an issue with the CD being distributed this way or with their track being distributed this way, let me know.
Here are Outpost usernames of the bassists for each band. Sorry for including the obvious ones, I wanted to list these by track order.
Uwe- Downing Beat
dukeplaysbass- Ines
Chris P- Boilersuit
gearHed289- gearHed
Barklessdog - Barkless Dog
T.A.Curtis (not a member here)
OldManC- Audrey Smilley
Granny Gremlin- WeLove
jzumbro- Showdown
Hörnisse- Snakebyte
EvilLordJuju- True Element
Pamlicojack- Tombstone Daddys
Doombass- Doombass
Texas Noise Factory (not a member here)- Supavillain
Basvarken- Superfloor
Cool! I wonder whatever happened to T.A. Curtis? Seemed like a great guy. Moved to New Mexico last I heard.
I played a 66 TB II Non Rev over a seventies Ampeg SVT on the Downing Beat track.

That's right, IIRC he was taking care of his mother who was in poor health. Sometimes life hands you other priorities.
I looked up Texas Noise Factory, doesn't look like he's posted anywhere in a couple of years.

I played a Gibson V Bass (the 5 string version of the IV Bass) although I never did use the low B on the song that was featured. I used the treble pickup only and played through an old Trace Elliot 7 band 250 watt head but I can't recall the cabinet. The sound engineer compressed and reverbed the sound too much on the track. He also recorded the drums first but neglected to have the drummer click 4 before each song, so when the bass came next I had to guess where to come in! Some engineer..... :rolleyes:
And thanks to Robert I already have a copy... ;)

That's pitiful! Did he have a Fisher-Price "My First Mixing Console" and a copy of "Engineering for Dummies"? :o

It was a Bicentennial 'bird. But the IV would have sounded great!
Thanks Dave, I've obviously seen mention of this set of recordings but haven't heard any of the tunes. Downloading now. :)
Here's the artwork guys.

Thanks, Rob. I included the back artwork in the zip file, but I never had a booklet.
I see that Daniel's group is actually Waterhead, according to the booklet.
Yes, thank you for the artwork! I never did get to print it originally. Some great info!

Right. Rob posted a link to the booklet with all the correct info.
This is a great collection of music. And a big job to put together.
Anyone interested in doing an Outpost version? 8)
I'd be up to contribute again.
Me three! ;)
I only have some live stuff with the fretless RD... someone would have to vet for QC... if it passes, I'd be happy to contribute...
I could try and work something up. It'd be a nice excuse to write something.
No Gibson basses in my possession at the moment. If I could find a Thunderbird Studio 5 string I'm in!

What about an Outpost CD without restricting it to Gibson? As busy as the Gibson board was at the old Pit, we were still a small part of the whole, opening it up to all brands would have been unworkable. But we're small enough here. Thoughts?
Not a bad idea, Dave. You might end up having to limit the number of submissions per brand when the Fender guys sign up tho!

Same here, I could try something.
I have 4 studio numbers with the Peter Cook from way back which would be easier for me but I'd still be tempted to see what I have with my fretless as it represents me more recently... still willing to be in if I pass the QC...

I'm in & I agree with Dave, this place is too tight knit to exclude anyone here- I would love to hear the Ric guys, etc.
What I loved about the first one was not so much the Gibson content but THE WORLD content & expression.
sooooo whats the criteria?
I guess original material to avoid any copyright issues...?
I doesn't have to be brand restricted at all, people should just say what bass they played. And I'm fine with covers to. Is it really an issue if we don't sell the CD commercially?
Uwe
I can't see any legal issues since it's something that won't be sold and will be circulated among a few hundred people at most.
Well, that's passed the site's legal department and CEO... ;D
New thread required?

Anytime some of you are ready to start a new effort, then start a thread in the Bass Zone.
Just need someone to master & assemble it, then distribute.
Cool ! I can get in on this one !Last time I couldn't get in on it.
Because your bass was too loud in your band's mix last time, Scott. Have conditions improved? :-*
No such thing as to much bass ;)
