This is an arrangement of three different grooves: Leo's Shuffle, named after the great Leo Fender, was the 1st groove I wrote using my new customized G&L 5-string bass (strung EADGC). The other two were written on my 4-string Breedlove acoustic bass guiar (strung ADGC): Stump Jam was written while sitting on a stump by Spreckel's Lake in Golden Gate Park, and several months later, combined with another un-named groove that I came up with in the Locrian mode while warming up for my music lesson. These three grooves were all spontaneously composed on separate occasions, without intending to be combined. But they ended up fitting together quite well! Eventually, I hope to incorporate them into the suite of original grooves that all fit together, which I've been assembling for the last couple of years. Recorded using a standalone digital 8-track (Zoom R16), starting with the "live click" track played on the bongos, and then adding the electric bass (which was plugged into a David Eden tube preamp). The stereo mixdown was done in Audacity, with no added effects or digital processing: no quantization, warping, time-stretching, cuts, or edits.
