Alembic. There are used ones out there. I have 3 basses. The ALembic never leaves the house. It is too cool for that sort of thing. For live, take the Gibson, or the old danElectro. Longhorn. Shockingly great little bass. the ALembic is a treasure.

radar love. In A Gadda Da Vida. all Grand Funk.

It is quite possible that the top of the line Peavey bass would be really great. They have built some really great equipment over the years. They also make a really good bass amp. The appearance of a bass guitar can really be important. examples -- 1st saw ZZ TOp 1972 -- small...

this may not suit everyone -- regarding 'P' anything, especially bass guitars, the precisions to me are like very finely made, excellent vanilla pudding. The kind that is cooked on the stove, good pudding. really good stuff, just not very exciting in any way. The truth is, there are...

RUSH one cool band. I do not think they were every trying to sound like anybody else or be the 'grooves' in disguise. Just a cool band. 'Working Man' is an anthem. Tom Sawyer. I know what you're doin' Not for everybody. Nonetheless, one cool band.

I have used different basses during different sound applications. mostly, fenders, G&L (awesome bass), Rics, Gibson -- Ric of Gibson only if you really do spend some time woodshedding. They are significantly different than the 'fenders'. I learned how to make the RIC more deep sounding...

now backup -- P basses are really fine instruments. Fender amps are and have always been groundpoundingly killer. All of their equipment is good. At least try a little bit to be somewhat different, junior. If you want a Fender, At least try out some other fender basses. If the P...

I don't know. It just seems like everybody plays a P bass. SO, if you want to look like everybody else, go get a P bass. That is one of the futuristic developments I am observing.

the dingwell looks really cool. Is that a real case it is in? It looks like it. Not a 'gigbag' I hope.

I heard a guy playing a little steinberger once. Sounded really great -- he had a really good amp. What about the hollow body basses? A long time ago, Ric had one -- there may still be gibson or epiphone -- A really heavy instrument can cause a lot of vertebral issues -- not really great.

that gadda album --- really did set the standard for virtually everything at the time. It still rocks. Cannot say much about the B side -- I probably oaly listened to it once. Side A, oh my. Everything. Fortunately, someone had turned the recorder on.............

that entire album is totally cool.

YES - this song is an extreme ground pounding song from an extreme band. Can ya?

everything mentioned above is awesome. But, you know, well, not sure this will fit in -- I have to choose 2 of the best late night highway driving songs after listening to Hot for Teacher -- these 3 entire songs are pretty much bass solos solos solos. Radar Love. Riders on the Storm...
