Gibson Bass CD from the old Pit - Part II

[Dave W]

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.

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.

Did somebody make a list of what basses were played?

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.....

[Highlander]

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"? 

[JZumbro]

jzumbro- Showdown     I believe a Gibson IV  

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.

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.

[Hornisse]

Yes, thank you for the artwork!  I never did get to print it originally.  Some great info!
