in the few music stores in my town They have no MM& W cds and it angers me. Im 15 and Im always lookin for a good funky jazz sounding band and I watched them on youtube and love all of it but no cds yet.

Ooh! Gonna have to look for this one!

great CD! That first track solo sounds like Pbass thru Portaflex all the way to me, but that's just me talking. He does a lot less upright playing on this one. The whole album is sorta Meter's -ish.

Can you believe I won the pre-order contest for this record, and won a pair of tickets to the show of my choice. Then I find out there arent planning anywhere even close to Texas and I had to decline my winnings

The contest coordinator did tell me if they ever come my way, either MSMW or MMW to shoot her an email and she'd put me on the guest list though hehe.

And yes, the record kicks major ass. I like Down the Tube a lot myself

Congratulations Juneau. Hopefully you will be able to take them up on the offer at some point.

Jason good to see you here again. I love Wood's solo on the first tune. He sounds great throughout.

Does anyone know if Chris Wood uses his Hofner on the album? I don't have the record at work with me, but there is one tune with a bass intro -- Cachaca? I think Wood wrote the song actually -- and it sounds beautiful. I'm thinking it's the Hofner.

Hey Seth. yup, I'm back in the saddle. You're right, that tune has a great intro. very unique sound he has going... almost sounds like an upright tone, but clearly a fretted instrument.

My wife and I saw MSMW at the Berklee Performance Center last night. Chris Wood was amazing. He uses a variety of techniques on the electric: fingerstyle, finger and thumb with a palm mute, pick. . . But last night his solo in "Little Walter Rides Again" was more aggressive than I had seen previously -- similar to his approach on the upright. He snapped the strings with his right hand and did pull-offs with his left. The sound was metallic, almost like old school slap and pop, which combined with the overdriven SVT sounded incredible.

Wood had his sunburst Fender Precision Bass, along with a Hofner Beatles Bass and a Hofner Club Bass which played with a pick on Tequila and Chocolate. His upright had a full-sized upper bout but a smaller lower bout (can't remember the manufacturer, they used to advertise in Bass Player. . .). The electric rig was an SVT with what looked to be an SWR 4x10, and the upright rig was an Ampeg B-15.
