Vintage G&L L1000 bass recorded with Apogee Duet

My tune "Yardbush" with NYC scene accompaniment. This was shot in the first beautiful day this spring, March 2010. I started in Brooklyn and popped out of the subway station in the East Village. From there, I walked into Union Square, through the Farmer's Market, and up Park Ave.

iMovie does this for you. Just drag and drop or import your audio file into the project.

Love your video and bass playing! Can you please share how do you put the great sounding track and video together? What programs and gadgets did you use?

Thanks!

[freshnyc]

@pastoria3 thank you for your kind words. I really had a good time creating this, and it was super easy. I receorded the music with Apple Logic, filmed with a simple HD video camera, loaded it to iMovie, chopped it all up, removed the camera audio, then replaced with the logic track. ...then tweeked it just a bit more. thanks again!

Great man, really like this! Fresh! I've got an L1000 too, 1981, I guess your playing nearer the bridge, what switching and eq are you using on the bass? Also what strings please? Love your tone. Good vid as well. Cheers!

[freshnyc]

@morzyman thank you for listening/watching. I believe I have the switch in the middle position, so it's neither super boomy or articulate. i think i has both tone knobs about half way. - D'Addario heavies.

where is the bass? ....get a life - nig**!

[freshnyc]

@ImFromGermany2 you can't hear the bass?

[pastoria3]

@freshnyc

Thanks for telling me. But how did you combine them into one file and load it on youtube? :)

Man this was a great time.

Been to NY once in OcT 1984 for 5 days of roaming the city. This was sort of a second trip. Completely enjoyed the 'time spent'. Cheers.

Congrats! I can really hear the difference flats make on this kind of bass.

Love your articulation. I am working on that kind of thing now. Very tough!

[morzyman]

@freshnyc Ok great, I'm gonna get me some flatwounds (and a few years practice!). Thanks for replying.
