Tom Barney, bassist Barry Johnson and myself all hung out this weekend! :-)

Barry is a good friend of mine and I have played the bass in the picture. It's a Fernandes with an installed pre-amp made by a cat in California, has a badassII bridge and emg's. Barry and i were together last night along with bassist Tom Barney of Stealey Dan fame amongst others...

Sounds more like Bob Babbitt to me...

This bass should have an oval sticker that say's Fender special edition yes.

Bassist Stanley Banks (George Benson) has played one of my basses, Barry Johnson sideman for everyone has played some of my basses and Tom Barney who's played with everyone sat on my couch and played a couple of my basses and I have played a couple of his at his house!:cool:

Mexican basses and some MIA basses with translucent finishes are what they call "caps or veneers" It looks like one piece but that is only for visual purposes. The bodies are made of 3 to 5 pieces of wood glued together. Only premium ash basses to my knowledge come in two pieces, Fender does not...

My sources tell me Mark Adams death was drug related but he didn't die from the drugs but a beating he took involving drugs. Mark Hicks was severely over weight and sweating perfusely on stage, he was only playing sometimes and seemed to be laboring in the last concerts of Slave I saw. He died...

I just love GK's customer support! I sent them an email yesterday and they got back to me already!!! This is why I have been a loyal GK user besides liking the way they sound. I described my problem to the tech and he seems to think it's a thermal problem with heat. I do notice the fan was...

I have tried bypassing the efx loop and nothing changes. if I plug directly into the return the problem still exist. speakers are tight and problem does not exist with another 1001RBII head plugged into cab. I basically use this amp at home for practice, I have other cabs that I use for playing...

5"10 (which I am) and 135 pounds is what I was when I was smoking crack! Real talk!!! 5'10 and 135 pounds you don't have much else besides not having a flat stomach......:)

18 my friend...

In 2002 I bought a CAR FSR 75RI jazz. It is a true 75RI except for the color which was not offered in 1975. The 50th anniversary bass reminds me of the FSR 70's reissue bass almost but that bass only has parts from the 70's while this new bass has features of all eras of the jazz basses history...

That Crown Heights thing is moving slowly though. Ajax and I have talked about that situation and it may not take off due to certain circumstances. Slaves music is not where Sandy's head is at, remember he did "inside out" 30+ years ago when he was still playing a jazz bass. Sandy now plays an...
