I attempted to cut together a demo video of my DC Jr showing various tones it can do...
with different techniques and settings.
I haven't tried making anything like this in a long time, it was fun!
Here it is!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac22aO3eKYA&feature=youtu.beI was terribly out of practice and am embarassed about my timing and mistakes, but it sounds good enough that I wanted to share anyway.
In all cases the volume is on 10; the tone is on 10 except a section toward the end, noted in the subtitles, where the tone is on zero.
These were all recorded through the DI on an old Edirol USB audio interface.
No amp, no mic, no EQ, no compression, no post-processing at all.
It's a mix of improvisation and various basslines that are fun to play around with, no attempt at accurately reproducing a recording.
Gratuitous slap warning toward the end
The segments are:
Pick - improv
Pick - coil tap - improv
Fingers - improv
Fingers - coil tap - improv
Muted pick - coil tap - "Don't Give Up"
Bright percussive fingerstyle - "Nobody's fault but mine"
Bright percussive fingerstyle - coil tap - "Caught in a Mosh"
Bright/hard fingerstyle - "War Pigs"
Fingers - coil tapped - tone zero - "Memphis Soul Stew"
Fingers - tone zero - "Memphis Soul Stew"
Slap - improv
Slap - coil tapped - improv
Drop D - hard fingerstyle - "In the Engine Room"
I finished up with Mike Watt's "In the Engine Room" because I discovered this shorty can do a surprisingly good drop-D, and the tone (without coil tap) reminded me a bit of the T-bird II he used for that song. Certainly not as full with my primitive recording, and of course a very different instrument/pickup, but to me it was at least somewhat reminiscent.
