Wow, you take your tribute band stuff seriously! That is some rig, dude! Looks brand new, too. How do you keep it looking so good playing out? If you say roadcases, I sure hope you hired a road crew!

 

[Interceptor]

Wow.

That has to be the equivalent of driving a Hemi Cuda like you stole it.

Cool.

 

[Andy_colassal]

SICK!



jealous

 

[Buster Brown]

Well, not to dredge up old memories.....but....

Not THAT was some fun!!!

 

[Rick Auricchio]

I'm old enough that I should recognize the photo, but I don't. Who is it?

I'd guess the Yardbirds.

 

[spellcaster]

Thats a beautiful sight!
I owned a Coliseum Bass and wish I still had it.

 

[jefkebass]

That rig looks phenomenal!! Love the mic stand drinks bottles too, that's attention to detail.

I'd hate to have to do your load in, though. Can you say "chiropractor"?

EDIT: Just watched your Youtube videos, you guys are absolutely fantastic!!

 

[Juniorkimbrough]

wow! that's awesome!

 

[Croox]

Thats insanely awesome, I would not want to be your roadie though

Thanks... I try to keep them covered and take my time loading in my equipment; although there are a few dings here and there... Yes, I need roadcases!!!

It's a shame the sound man is micing it with a single Senn 609 though! You should INSIST on getting three channels with three mic on the board. I've had to battle for my space with the drummer on the mixing board but it's worth it once the sound man understands that kind of thing is not about efficentcy but instead, EXCESS! ( and if you tell me you're taking a direct line out for the lows then...I.... will.... cry)

My ears started ringing just looking at the pictures.

You Betcha!!

Those guys could ROCK back in the day!!! I was working A&R for an LA label (Dunhill) and we thought about signing them before "that other" outfit grabbed them....

It was a shame....I expected BIG things out of them but they just sort of fizzled.....too bad, but a story we've all heard a million times....

I alway wondered how the hell he kept those Kustom cabinets standing....they were pretty "wild" shall we say?
