The latest issue of Bass Player (April, 2007 w/Mike Watt) features David Hood's Alembic in David Pomeroy's "Retro-Rama" section. David Hood is a great hero of Southern Soul Music, IMO. I always have dug the fact that so many of his super downhome songs like the Staple Singers, "I'll Take You There" were recorded on a Series One Alembic. He is a classic example of the tone in one's hands. www.hoodbass.com

I don't know DR. Cheese, I remember 'I'll Take You There' from about '71-72, predates the Alembic by a few years.

On classic tracks such as the Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There,” Be Altitude: Respect Yourself [Stax]: ’61 Fender Jazz w/all controls on full, recorded direct with a 60-watt Fender Bassman and Concert 4x10 monitor. “This was true for all the records I played on from the mid ’60s to the mid ’70s—Aretha, Rod Stewart, Traffic, Paul Simon, and all the rest.” http://www.hoodbass.com/links.html |
