Thanks John!
It’s a Lyon LB40 by Washburn. I picked it up about 18 years ago from the website Overstock.com. It sat out in Hawaii with some friends until I grabbed it back when I started the B2B course two years ago. I recently upgrade the pickups, pots and strings along with a professional setup.

I now have a second suitcase that has all that gear as well as a floor stand and music stand. I’m away for such long periods of time that if I don’t practice, I’ll surely forget everything.

This is a song I learned early on this year, but never bothered to cover.
As I know it pretty well now I figured I would record it quickly.
I used a little reverb from my new Gamechanger Light Pedal (optical sweep) mode.
The pedal has a mechanical spring tank and operates in both traditional mechanical mode, and an ‘optical mode’ with optical sensors along the springs that pick up the spring vibrations. The sweep mode is constantly cycling the sensors to get an ever so slightly different reverberation along the sweep. Sweep speed is adjustable. Tried not to over do it but it did add some ‘body’ to the bass.
Squire fully-modded Jazz w La Bella flats - tone up ~20%, 100% neck / 30% bridge.
Tried a little bit of compression in Abelton just for grins, still learning.

Damn @John_E that is so awesome! That’s one of my favorite Madonna songs too. I really enjoyed listening to it, and you did a great job. The volume on the bass was perfect for the song and I could hear it well, but I know there are those people in the forum who think we should bury the song with our bassline. I really appreciate you doing it this way so we could enjoy listening to it. 
P.S. I listened to it twice, that’s how much I enjoyed it!

Nice Cover @JerryP, you played it very well. I thought your bass volume was very level with the song, and came across crystal clear.
I would too 
Great job @John_E. Very nicely played, and the bass sounded crystal clear and great volume.
Different Genre of music need the backing track and bass volume turned to different levels.
IDK why this still seems to be a topic on this thread however.

Thanks @T_dub Toby! I have a bit more equipment with on this trip because I drove to Chesapeake so I was able to stuff the car with more gear. When I fly, it will probably with less stuff.
