Happy New Year!!!
Party with Josephs BassCam footage from November 2, 2025 video featuring “Long Train Runnin.”
The bass part on my sheet music does not exist. I have a “rhythm” chart. The guitar parts are written and I will suddenly need to read treble clef note if I want to play… the guitar parts on my bass. I don’t. Instead, my ear will guid me. I have listen to the song many times and I can get close enough. The guitar (anthem) part gives away the bass part a little… err the bass part follows the guitar’s syncopated rhythm.
I just try to use my ear and play heavy fat pentatonic min shit. No complaint from anyone so far. Chart sucks and the end is a short note. It’s not a good ending. Guitar solo is almost yikes. Written ending is dumb… short note is dumb.
Gear:
GoPro: Hero 11 Black Mini on a GoPro sticker mount. I was incorrect in the previous posts. The settings are at 10:80, wide, 24fps. This 4 string bass has a GoPro style sticker mount that I added many years ago. This was for a Hero 3. It still works for modern GoPro cameras. It’s not the suction cup like I use for driving footage and the 5 string bass. This mount had a better angel with the older cameras. The newer camera just won’t flex as much. I need another goose neck or an additional elbow. Grr…
Bass: Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe 4 String… also known as “Bread and Butter.” when I was a full-time musician I used this bass and I modified it for longevity. Three hour performances on consecutive days can wear down your fingertips and muscle strength. I modified this bass to have the lightest flatwound strings I could find and I payed a master to balance it and set up the strings.
Beer: Probably the same one. I’m trying to post these videos in oder of performance. (West Coast Pilsner• 5.2% ABV hopped w/ Krush, Nelson, Simcoe, & Krush Quantum before helping to lead a band of musicians.) #beer
NEXT: “NAKED GUN.” .
