▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Welcome to Josephs BassCam footage from November 2, 2025! Another performance with the Jazz Derelicts.

Song: “Sway” I play a part similar to the written bass part. It’s forgiving. It’s written as a bossanova. I try to make it less Michael Bub… no complaint from anyone so far. Just stay out of the singer’s way, beware of the key change, and be sure to loudly count and musically emphasis the breakdown section.

Same Gear:

GoPro: Hero 11 Black Mini on a GoPro sticker mount. I was incorrect in the previous posts. 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. This guy is top tier and did some interesting things to balance my Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe. He was actually a technician at the factory in Orange County long long ago.

Beer: Same one still. This is only the fifth song. No need to be drunk on “Avalon” a West Coast Pilsner• 5.2% ABV hopped w/ Krush, Nelson, Simcoe, & Krush Quantum before helping to lead a band of musicians. #beer

Pizza: One slice is dumb. I went home and ate lasagna I purchased at a local Italian deli.

NEXT: “My Old School” by Steely Dan.
