I like everything about that plan. Can I be played by Danny DeVito? I just want people to be able to tell me after meeting me that i "look way better in person than in the movie." T'would be a nice ego booster.
Also, I'm going off topic, but related. Can the expression input and gate swicth be added to a Frazz without them without any negative effects on tone? I never cared about those options when I was using the Frazz with guitar (still cool options, I'm just simple on guitar) and it was not realizing I rolled the mix off halfway that hurt me on the EP last year so I never wanted to add more, but now with bass I'd love to be able to gradually roll in the fuzz when playing live and to be able to do longer sustained phrases. EDIT : Question answered by Ryan in another thread. Too tight of a fit with the original layout.
And also, guys, sorry about the mislead, but at least now I know about Big Black, so thanks for helping me live a richer life. In general all of our songs are about fucking. 3 more songs recorded and will be out there over the next month as I have them mixed and connected to video. I'm really only sharing when it's tied to specifc pedals made by the awesome builders who support this forum, so if there's any interest in the stuff bang around on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube or whatever social media you can stomach and see more there.

Thanks MR. It's 100% real drums played live with the bass and guitar. The kick was a happy accident. We always keep whatever that big Shure kickdrum mic is deep in the kick pointed at the beater. It fell to the side before recording and was pointing to the side where the shell and skin meet instead. It came back sounding HUGE. Then it was just a tiny bit of EQ + Compression and that's it. Then it's a sm57 on the snare. A Sennheiser MK4 (i think..whatever their cheapest large diaphragm condenser is) 40" above the snare and another MK4 40" to the right of the snare just past the floor tom. It's the cheapest/easisest setup that I've found that always sounds great.
Cool. Thanks for the info! Nice job.

Thanks man. I never want to be pushy with it, but I'm definitely proud to share. I've got something with a Goatkeeper and some work with a Dispatch Master and a bit of Algal Bloom in some songs coming later too. All great shit on bass.

Thanks. That's why I wanted to share. I've tried so many pedals because of how cool they sound in isolation and heard them ruin a mix in a band. It's a bit less of an issue on guitar, but on bass I find it nearly impossible to tell from solo demos how well the pedal will work. The Dispatch Master isn't in this, but that was a huge surprise. Phenomenal bass pedal. Makes everything sound like The Weeknd.

Thanks man. But I'm confused aren't you an officer of the law? Oh...I get it, you're a traditionalist. No performance-enhancing vehicles ...or a Bad Lieutenant-esque crooked cop maybe?
