I have listened to some of your posts on Soundcloud you play worthy of her looks.

Pauldo, where can I hear you playing on sound cloud? flpete1uw Intermediate Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 138 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 - 2:33 pm:    Not to speak for Pauldo, but heres the link for the Alembic players. https://soundcloud.com/#groups/alembic-players pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 908 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 - 3:01 pm:    Chalie here is the place: http://soundcloud.com/pdrapeau Pete - Thanks for the kudos! Do you have a Sound Cloud page? What type of wood is your baby? charles_holmes Advanced Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 224 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 - 5:29 pm:    I really dig the solo bass track the best! That Distillate sounds great! But of course it's really the player that makes it happen! I really need to get into "The Game" and start recording my stuff. What did you use to record yourself Pauldo? flpete1uw Intermediate Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 139 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 - 6:10 pm:    Pauldo, The Kudos were easy you earned them. I was in the Studio Biz for a long time so I guess I just want play now for fun!! so No I do not have a Sound Cloud Page. Who knows maybe when I feel it again I'll dabble again. My Baby has a Coco Bolo Top, Mahogony base,Maple / Purpleheart neck. 32" Standard Distillate specs. But the grains on the Coco Bolo are stunning to say the least. Sometimes nature throws us some gems that are quite eye catching. Case in point that Zebra Wood Baby of yours! Charles I hope you hook up to the Sound Cloud love to here your Lovely lady as well. It's all good!!!!

Added reverb or some 'spacial' effect post recording - don't remember what it was. Did the old tone knob twisties at the end for the wah-wah effect. Most of the song is played on the bridge pickup except for approximatly between 4:00 and 5:00 which is on the neck pickup. hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 1187 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2013 - 4:26 pm:    I don't have a Distillate unfortunately - though I loved playing Wolf's single-pickup one at one of the Alembic Gatherings. I did want to post another address for the Alembic Player's group: http://soundcloud.com/groups/alembic-players - please, if anyone has any recordings, post away! charles_holmes Advanced Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 225 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2013 - 4:46 pm:    Thank you for the information Pauldo on recording.I will have to look on Ebay for that gear. Thanks for your post Harry but Pete beat you to it! I'll check it out! hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 1188 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2013 - 7:14 pm:    Actually, Pete's link doesn't work for me - that's why I posted a new one! charles_holmes Advanced Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 228 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2013 - 3:05 pm:    Solid! flpete1uw Intermediate Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 140 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2013 - 3:26 pm:    Wow, the link just worked for me.
