I think he used this same bass when I saw them back in 1980.
Does anyone remember his name?

Meanwhile, a 3-DVD "Best Of Soul Train" set is due out 8-31-2010.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Gladstone, QLD, Australia | | as a white, middle-classed non-urbanite growing up in America, I was absolutely enthralled by Soul Train and watched it ALL the time. I thought the music was absolutely fantastic, even though I found a lot of the dancing & bling a bit cheesy, but fun.
One of the things that used to make me snicker was those afro-sheen ads.  But I guess I got my payback, because I probably could do with a similar-but-different product these days and call it "scalp sheen"

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste! | Mazarati was BrownMark's band. Remember he was the guy that Prince said was his best bassist ever.
Here he is with that Alembic: http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=JEw6...eature=related
