Funny..I listened to "Weight" for the first time in like 8 years as a result of this thread and just now heard that effect on "Disconnect." I was about to post to see if any knew what that delayed/phased sound was exactly but I think you may be right. Gibbs sounds great (of course.)

OK. Which Rollin's band album do you think are the best for both Weiss and Gibbs? Hmm..maybe Gibbs is only on "Weight."
I found an old bass player mag(don't really read the mag anymore though, used to be a lot better) back in Nov '94. On the cover was Chris Squire and John Paul Jones, their is a short article with Melvin Gibbs. This was around the time of "Weight". It says he used 5 or 6 string Warwick and Tobias bass. He used two Mesa Boogie 400+ heads, one 1x18 and two 2 x 15 Mesa cabs. Crazy low end action. He also used a Big Muff, Yamaha wh-10 wah, Mu-tron III, Boss line selector and Demeter stereo tube DI. I think this is what he was playing live basically when I saw Rollins during the "Come In And Burn" tour. He had one of the most powerful loud bass tones I have heard live and it was'nt that big of a club either. I heard their was a lot of outtakes from the "Come In and Burn" sessions of some long tunes and maybe instrumentals. I wish some of that would get released.
