Hi Dan, thanks for the info. Those are helpful clues as to what one can expect. I'm strictly a fretted player, my earlier dabbling with the fretless left me in no doubt that I couldn't live with the microtonal inaccuracies that my crap left-hand fingering would produce on consistant basis.
Cheers - Lugzy |

Thanks man for the advice on nailing the tone, it’s a great insight into how one can go about it. For the son of a master carpenter, I know very little about woods & tone. All I know is that I definitely have an aversion to Maple tops and the sound of Maple fret boards, but then there was that "Anthony Jackson Presentation" that had a curly Maple top, boy that looked stunning. On the subject of Fodera's I'd like to hear Matt's new bass (with acoustic chamber) and the Pontif has a new build in the works that should be interesting (totally new body shape + a movable pick-up).
I don't have any of Matt's CD's, they've been on the shopping list for some time, and in fact it's been a while since I've bought any new music so I'm looking forward to spinning the rta CD & checking out Warren's productions, I so enjoy well engineered mixes.
I'm going to PM the Picard with a large note of thanks.
Rich, be good and thanks again.
Peace & Prosper - Lugzy |

to see these and some more of the photos in their full size glory. | You can link to full sized pics by wrapping the URL in IMG tags (IMG at the beginning in brackets, /IMG at the end). GLWS. 
Normally on Photobucket there's a dropdown with different links, one of which is IMG code. That automatically does what I described above and all you have to do is cut a paste but on yours it's saying IMG thumb and it's wrapped in "URL". Never seen that before.

We played a gig last last year in Umea, Sweden that was recorded for a live radio broadcast. I don't know how long this will be up, but you can listen to the gig here.
The band is called Samdhi. Look for the album to be released soon.

Rudresh Mahanthappa - alto sax and electronics
David Gilmore - guitar
Damion Reid - drums

enjoy! | THAT is one hell of a band! Thanks Rich. I look forward to checking out the album when it's out.
edit: DAMN! Rudresh is such a BEAST!!!! I'm dying to hear him with Jack Dejohnette's new band.
edit part deux: That first tune brings me back to hearing Pachora for the first time.....Rich, beautiful opening to the second tune. I hear Africa and Bach in there...perfect.
Ok...sorry for the massive derail.....good luck with selling this beautiful bass.
