Just bought one for a good price. Recorded this demo. Everything is one take. Hence all the clams in the lead.
I think it sounds pretty good. Just a learning experiment.
I used my 30s, Regal Prince archtop for rhythm. Recorded with the imbeded mics.
Mosrite ventures model bass with flats straight into the board. Used the tube preamp modeler as well.
I used my Smith special electric straight in using a tweed deluxe modeler.
I mastered it with some room reverb and a lo Fi sound.
Thoughts or suggestions?

Here is this week's experiment. Using an SM58 and art preamp. Again, one take. Lord of clams.

Supposed to say lots of clams. But I like Lord.
I'm the Lord of Clams.
Hi, is your Regal a 17” or 18” ? Those were quality made instruments.
18. It's huge. Well made instrument. I got it for a song too.
Good score, I played a Regal Esquire before and it was really nice. It had the fiddle edge around the body.
This week's recording. My friend Mitch played the first two choruses of solo.
Two mixes. One "vintage" and one Hi Fi. I feel like the vintage mix doesn't make the two mics and recording spaces sound as different.

I upped my effort level to two takes. Lol
Pretty cool how you displaced the Django lines in the beginning. It was intriguing if you're gonna make it and wrap it around. And you did!
Thanks Buco. I think you are referring to the triplet run in Minor Blues. I used to start it where Django did but why not do what django himself did and move the start of a line. Feels fresh.
I love how he does that in the Rome session of Djangology. He keeps starting off his phases with the same idea but changes which beat to start on.
I only recently heard it in the head of Blue Monk.
