Another jam session tonight —working on a couple more of the new tunes. Or should I say hacking our way through them a few times. As it turned out, it wasn't all that shabby. Just a couple hundred more times through and we'll have something in presentable shape.
On the Tone end of things, I'm getting rid of my rack. Tired of lugging around a giant efrigerator-sized box in order to have the semblance of decent, workable bass tone, I'm throwing in the towel on that and going with a nice little thing we like to call the Line6 Bass POD XT live.
A key ingredient in my rack was the rack-mount Bass POD Pro, and I've used that in recording demos during the past couple of years, but as its collection of internal effects did not include any delay or reverb... I had to use it in conjunction with a bunch of other stuff. Hence the refrigerator-sized box.
Anyway, the XT live worked great during practice... Tweaking the presets seem intuitive enough —and it sounded great. I'm going to miss that refridgerator-sized box. Wait a minute. No I'm not.
