Do you make cds of all this stuff and try to sell them on CDbaby?

 

You should, maybe you'd get a few bucks for all your efforts.

 

Me? (It's hard to tell the way the forum is laid out, lol) I do have 3 CD's out. The two in my signature and one I remastered and re-released that's an old album. They're all available on CDbaby.

 

I do make a few bucks. VERY few! : ) But a lot of the things I post on Youtube is just stuff I have some fun knocking out here and there.

Local bars pay me not to show up. Anti-Busking has netted me a small fortune.

A great underrated bass player, PLUS a talented composer, vocalist, arranger, producer, and multi instrumentalist.

 

But please...no comments on the performance. I'll get in trouble.

Ha! Originally, Feliz's name was at the head of the thread. But thanks. And I'm no phenom here -- just a resident pain in the ass to some people.

I'm still wondering how Felix Pappalardi, with one producing credit to his name (The Youngbloods), was given the task of producing Cream's second album.

 

He and Jack Bruce were friends and I think Jack recognized his skills and sense of commercialism. he was right.

I always liked Andy Frasier of Free so I decided to do a reworking of one of his great riffs. Or as some people call it -- attention whoring.

 

Interesting! It seems a bit fast to my ears but I have to admit I haven't listened to a lot of Free lately. Other than that, a very enjoyable listen! I like your vocals.

Thanks. And you're right, it is a bit faster than the original. I tried to make it a bit more "song-like" by adding harmonies and such. Free weren't the strongest songwriters or arrangers (except for All Right Now) They did mostly blues. But they had a great sound, a great groove and a great gritty vibe.

Thanks guys. It was interesting using the Hofner. The tendency is the play certain parts in a lower register and I'd wonder why McCartney would play them up an octave. And then you realize it sounds better that way on the Hof!

I liked this the best of all your tunes. Nice job.

 

Curious - what guitar(s) did you use for this recording?

 

Thanks. The only electric guitar I own is a CV Squier 50's strat. They're great. The different tones are from the different "amp" options in Garage Band.

How do you play in tune in the higher register on a Hofner (or a Hofner copy)?

 

It's a Hofner Icon, which I believe is just as good, even though some Hofner afficionados would disagree. (Cheaper pickguard and tuning pegs). Remember, the Hofner has always been a cheap bass but curiously, the body work is beautiful.

 

As for the intonation, ya know, people talk about how it doesn't play in tune in the upper register, but it really isn't that bad. And besides, it's not exactly the type of bass where you'd be soloing above the 12th fret. But for that thumpy low end, it's definitely got the vibe.

Just found these youtube videos recently put up. These are from the concert documentary video recorded on our European tour in 1987 in Stockholm for Swedish TV that was eventually shown worldwide.
