Jetta

With this week involving rehearsals and a performance with a new instrument in a new tuning, as well as figuring out how best to tweak it (setup, nut height, fret dressing, neck shim...), this piece is a bit of a retrenchment on a familiar instrument, the hollow Univox in Bb F tuning. This involved two short sessions Friday night and Saturday night, and came out surprisingly up-tempo.
The air is still humid, but temperatures are slightly cooler, so there's a bit of fret buzz on this instrument (as well as the new one). In the interests of working quickly, I've left it in place rather than re-tracking. (I should tweak the setup on this, too, though.) This uses the usual signal chain: UA Volt 1, convolution reverb, audio effect rack with default compression/eq on the stereo mix.
The title comes from minor planet 544 Jetta, which is a pretty teeny thing, cosmologically.
