|  | Less barking, more wagging! | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: San Diego, CA | | Rod Ellicott playing with Cold Blood back in the day - another Bay Area bassist who doubtless knew both Rocco and Vega: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx2vxo5M8jA
Check out the bass solo that starts at about 3:13 
Ellicott and Vega are my all time favorite pick players! |
