Heath, you are not included. 
I've always wanted to hear what my basses would sound like in the hands of some of the players I look up to. Have any of your basses ever been played by a pro you admire? |

a.There was a good chance I wasn't going to meet him(but I did in the long run)
b.I didn't want to rick having my bass stolen
c.I didn't want to bring it to the concert with me
I did however have him sign my ticket stub, and thanked him for inspiring my to play bass, and listen to cool music. |

I don't give a rip, it is the best bass for me.
Oh - My Tune Zi series 6 string? Scott Ambush played one (not my exact bass of course) when he toured with Spyro Gyra around 1989.

And FWIW there has been some pretty famous (in the bass world) Pedulla owners, like Gene Simmons and Will Lee. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Cincinnati OH | | I was down in Nashville for a session last winter & Willie Weeks wound up joining my band for dinner. We were talking about basses and he mentioned that he had been playing some upright. I told him about my Clevinger EUB, so after dinner we went out to the parking lot & out it came. He seemed to like it. 
Willie is a really nice guy. It was an honor to meet him.  |
