ingeneri Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Still, :this_thread_is_useless_withou , but you can hear some tracks with the Heritage 575 I put Lollar P-90s in at http://jazzguitarlife.ning.com/profile/MattIngeneri The first two tracks, Little Chippie and Watermelon Man, are with the great Blue Note records house bassist Butch Warrent. If you turn the volume up on the first 45 seconds on Little Chipie you can hear Butch playing the head. He was also the bassist on the original recording Herbie Hancock did of Watermelon Man. I'm using a Jazzkat amp with the 575 on these. The third track is the famous Jimmy Smith Blues, Back at the Chicken Shack, with Chess Records session player Jimmy Burrell. I'm using a Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue for an amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It all sounds great. I just left the whole lot looping while I did my aimless web browsing. Good playing and good sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Little Chippie got a thumbs up from my 2.5 year old son! His only objection was that there wasn't any live video. "I want to see him play music!" he kept saying. Great work, Matt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxdx99 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Excellent, excellent, excellent. Were I to be in the DC area I'd be brunching at your gigs every weekend - really nice stuff. Thanks for the posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psda Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Great stuff, I've been playing watermelon man almost all of my life and still loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111518 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks for this post, Ingenri. Love the punchy attack --mostly your work, but complimented nicely by P-90s. Sounds like the noise "floor" is delightfully high at the gig, but I wonder if you've found noise to be more of a problem with the P-90s than with buckers?

ingeneri Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks for the kind comments guys. I'm not a regular in Butch's band, but I really treasure any chance I get to sit in. Jimmy is a bit of a mentor of mine, and I always enjoy getting a chance to play with him again too. I also like paying back karma a bit and hiring as my sub for the brunch when I can. Butch's gig is always packed, as is fitting given his stature. The great thing is the overwhelming majority of the audience is under 30, very rare for jazz. The P-90s do buzz quite a bit. It's not really an issue when playing with a full band, but it can be tough when counting off in a quiet room. Hence, I use the Super Eagle for the brunch gigs, which are more sedate and only a guitar/bass duo. Hopefully I can get my wife to come to one of these gigs and take some cool shots of the 575.
