well, if you translate to english it'd be "Heidegger Alive". I'm not full time with them now 'cause they live in other city. I used to be with them before I moved to Moscow. The picture from stage is from biggest russian rock-fest "Invasion" which took place in July. I played with them there 'cause their bassist was busy and could not participate.

Anton what is the name of your band??
 
Well, looks like I'll be joining the Spector club in a month or so.

Just put my order in for a Euro 5 LX, matt black with chrome hardware and no inlays.

I can't wait to get it! Of course there will be pics asaigi. :-)
 
Stoke Alert

Had my 2nd audition with an original band (The Shallows). Got the gig! Booyah.

They looking to gig out but more importantly get back in the studio. Can't wait to record these Spector's!

BTW - they all absolutely loved the bass tone (not a shocker). No more P basses in that band. More to come.

That's awesome Lee! Congratulations!!! :hyper: what genre' is the band?
 
Si Senor... talked to Ed... he priced it to move fast.

He says it's a 9.3/10.0 and he would have bought it in the parking lot if he had the cash.

GC has an awesome return policy... so good times ahead :bassist:

This is by far the best club on TB representing the finest mark... can't be without one for too long...

I would have loved to have had a shot at Mr.Bassie's NS-4CRFM... but it went to an amazing player who will really ROCK IT!!!

Awesome! You know it is! :D Yeah and Mr. Bassie selects awesome basses too! :bassist:
 
How fun!! Is he playing a NS-4 or one of his "Shorty" sigs?

It looked like an NS4 but the scale was kind of hard to determine from where we were standing, even though we were all of about 25 feet from the stage. :D Honestly, it looked like very similar a Forte (matte, no inlays) but with the NS4 pickup config. Now THAT was a Spector in its native environment :bassist:

Digressing for a second, the mix was really muddy. :hmm: I counted 18 musicians up there including a 5 piece horn section, percussionist, two keyboards, four backup singers etc etc etc. (This was Springsteen at Gillette stadium last night if you're just tuning in.) I think the engineers had to compensate for a number of factors like a huge band, and typical open-air arrangements. Gillette definitely was not built with concert acoustics in mind. Imagine a gigantic U-shape laid on its side. The stage goes in the curved part of the U. At the other end, just beyond the open part of the U, they built giant concrete steps (to get up to the retail area) with restaurants flanking the upper floors. Basically, it's like a huge wall of concrete and glass that intersects that open part of the U at more/less a 45 degree angle. The sound bounce-back is crazy.

Still, all that said, being up front with the diehards when Bruce is just killing it for the better part of the three and a half hours is not such a bad place to be.:D And Jake Clemons did his uncle proud for sure. Garry shows up for a second or two in this video. We were right behind the guy holding the Let's go Horns sign.

Rock out man! Bring the pain!

Good luck. \m/

we just opened up for Smile Empty Soul and premiered our new addition to the band (2nd guitarist) and it was great! Had to run the wife home and the babysitter, but I'm heading back out in a minute. rocked my CRFM (Jade) and my Spector shirt (less the sleeves)

Ya buddy! I'm surprised, but congrats!!! :hyper:


luck not need, you, sir have chops... Rock out :bassist:

thanks guys. the show went good. man i really need to hurry up and save for that amp. it was an outdoor event and on stage, i could barely hear myself. that and i had a hard time seeing. dark it was. but we rocked it!! i just hope next time we dont start out the set with the more challenging songs. by the end of the 3 song, my left arm was pooping out. lol
 
Road trip to Houston to see the final night of the Iron Maiden tour. As you can see, I was representing!

Awesome! Can't wait to see and hear that. It's definitely going to have that different look to it so I am really curious what it will look like with no inlays.

So today is the day I am finally going to swap the OBP-1 out of my NS-JH5 and change it with an EMG BQC. I bought this BQC over a month ago but things have been so insane lately that I haven't had the time to do it unfortunately. I will definitely record before and after clips and I have Limaguy standing by on call in case of am emergency :)
