Gareth Hughes Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 LOVE Vulfpeck so much!!! Been digging this for a while. And even cooler is that I got to see Joe Dart play live last night in Belfast!!! He's on tour with The Olllam. This band are too damn good. Featuring fellow Vulfpeckers Theo Katzman on guitar and Woody Goss on Wurlitzer. The interplay between Joe and drummer Michael Shimmin was breathtaking. Check them out: https://www.facebook.com/theolllam Here's the remaining tour dates: [color=#333333]18 Jan - GLASGOW [url="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fmrcstdh&h=hAQEfbEdQ&enc=AZMNU3TkwNG9othn90ZZjiUciYwmSUJ4vnJyHsDfHD3tXjmKUUZW7Q0ZFEmsOghm2hDTdRhJlp4H2Wwgu6jyj7snMiAUT39SocKq-NCZpY-Rpu9OtDfejTyWLzndIFKi7-zaYjd3jyOpDd5oKa_gEVoo&s=1"]http://tinyurl.com/mrcstdh[/url] 19 Jan - LIVERPOOL [url="http://tinyurl.com/mtq25am"]http://tinyurl.com/mtq25am[/url] 20 Jan - LONDON [url="http://tinyurl.com/lnnszhz"]http://tinyurl.com/lnnszhz[/url] 21 Jan - MANCHESTER [url="http://tinyurl.com/ppkc64o"]http://tinyurl.com/ppkc64o[/url] 22 Jan - CLONAKILTY [url="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fmg2vwtg&h=GAQGW7fcC&enc=AZPVIwqOwbsw6joOkH7OPcPv4BACsUqh6ffAYVpemOjtPzU8BV02jgMV-SWcFPQ-8P3j7Fj5IFzsrM5fd7hkFkkw2Csm6B2oxiw90YMyIfiA5pLybdHfTsEE2_l7Ki3Q7IiA1SgP1-ZO1TTbzk4v0Xxr&s=1"]http://tinyurl.com/mg2vwtg[/url] 23 Jan - DUBLIN [url="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fn8w33mp&h=sAQGEQG_k&enc=AZOOJhUpTkM-ApdnhJA6702IBGhpg7l-WpqrUlJIXhGhCMykmSmnzEIh8czjmCvCz9n2npxNf4Wt7m1sny06XnZuOFvMVE4nWA-bwwTsY6gxM1BcZjnGhZIFNvFk14phAquXRfSKYL1q0fqa-uBZf6DK&s=1"]http://tinyurl.com/n8w33mp[/url][/color][color=gray] — with [url="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=2246701&viewer_id=699820536"]Tyler Duncan[/url] and [url="https://www.facebook.com/browse/participants/?q=AeItG6f4NWYSP7x9EG0JR0O--ZVgkPBZQgqBuK6FYNDTGmvXFN6Ydq2LE-D6oTe1Vt_Rio_LucOjK7E66bhy8rVIhdFcZWEw3mSNtZEKudQ3hA3DqL0INHBlQgfVebGM8oh34TzqPsWFnxiw-New6EF6_oNizkYObE5eZ5BtNt4z3-SPhO7RYOI1qo4-e3-syfckgBMLzczj0qQMyBsc9goRIBazUDNTi6n_43UafTEpunr9-6xgAaNMKn-GQwpo_fb4uV5I9gXgp3S42HLaO86l"]4 others[/url].[/color] Quote
leroybasslines Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 He's a proper player isn't he. I think my fave track of Vulfpeck's is 'Outro'...some absolutely audacious bass playing on there! I love how he's so in the pocket and loving being the rhythm section, and then he just blows it all apart with a stunning fill. He's so spontaneous too; it doesn't feel too technical or cerebral...just spur of the moment, warts-and-all feel. Of course, all their tracks are recorded almost completely live: Jack Stratton is a real old-school recording nerd! http://youtu.be/XftabV9S2z0 Quote
leroybasslines Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 And while I'm here, Joe Dart and Jack Stratton did a couple of videos with an outfit called Groove Spoon. Different vibe, but great stuff. Again, it's recorded live with Stratton on drums (he's a really great drummer - I'd love to play with him!) and Dart on bass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh_dm8m92Kk Quote

[/quote] Additionally, the Squier had a sponge mute, and the interview recordings had the bass going straight to audio interface (focusrite saffire) which may or may not have had the preamp turned on ? (Hard to tell from the conversation). The interview bass recordings did sound to my ears very like the studio vulfpeck recordings though.

A fact I was most pleased to learn as I have a cheapo bass with a Music Man pickup arriving tomorrow and already have a spare set of unopened TI's! Quote
chris_b Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) JD seems to be standing infront of Ampegs most of the time, but I don't know if that's what were hearing. In his live shows he seems to be using an Ampeg cab with a GK 800RB. ....and there's more.......
