for anyone curious i am playing in an alternate tuning (DADAAD) and am using a whammy pedal to harmonize the strummed chords up a 5th

Interesting. Red whammy with bass vi instead of the “bass” whammy. Sounds really good.

I have another release up on Spotify that is all bass driven tracks recorded on the bass vi (sans one song recorded on a 3 string). see https://open.spotify.com/album/4kZ6PotI8RrU6gndB6zqfx?si=g6xQ5ssVSbacXasVhDtNYQ&utm_source=copy-link
