It was great!!
I traveled all the way to Atlanta to see the Brand New Heavies play in a rather small, dark venue in Atlanta...Andrew is great onstage! He has mega stage presence and was playing a Fender Jazz (not sure which model) thru an Ampeg SVT.
Not a flashy player, but solid grooves! 
He did do a couple cool runs though.
His left hand technique is a little strange.
Anyone else ever seen him live? |

| | prefers electric miles davis | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Los Angeles, CA | | | alright just got back from the show. one HELL OF A SHOW. they are some great entertainers. they were tight as all get out too. slamming concert, one of the best this year.
alright. andrew was using an ampeg svt2 head and 410hlf and 115 cabs. that bass looked like a custom shopper. the neck was a 75 RI neck with rosewood and blocks and the 75 RI logo. but the body was sunburst and had a tort pickguard. could have been a combo of 2 basses or a custom shopper.
at one point andrew jumped into the audience and grooved on down with everyone. slamming, absolutely great concert. |

Hes a believer in that you can get away with just two notes, it the way you play those two notes. Cool guy.

I went all the way to Atlanta to see them, because it was the only concert announced after the summer tour (they came as close as Chicago). We logged on to their myspace page the DAY AFTER the concert, and all of a sudden there were all these tour dates, including none other than San Francisco! Go figure... |

I saw em last night in Seattle at the Moore......I have been compin this guy's lines and listenin to em since 1990.......Learnin when NOT to play and just hitting the right notes is the true art of a master bass player.....Andrew L. is a true master.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: San Francisco, CA (finally!) | | | the show last night was great, albeit a shorter set than the one in ATL (at least so it seemed). Andrew sounded better than he did in Atlanta; his tone was smoother. He was playing well, although the reports were that he was not feeling well that night.
"You ROCK Andrew!!"
"Hey, I'm tryin, man"
"You're makin it!" |

I never had realyl listened to them jsut heard about them on here and I really like them. The bassist almost looks like Bona a little bit. He's a very solid sounding player. |

We ended jammin "have a good time" with them for 30 minutes. It was so cool. Ladies, watch out for Simon and Andrew - subtle is not in their vocablulary. They practically kidnapped our singers. Opportunity of a lifetime! |

| If the bass you saw was the one he used on Conan's show, it is a late 60's jazz, rosewood, blocks, big jazz bass logo, tort guard, sunburst,etc.

| | | | Saw BNH at the Stockholm Jazz Fest a few days ago. What kind of bass is Andrew Levy using? Fender jazz with some sort of green/aqua finish. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
