I'm sorry guys.
I think anyone who has been here long enough knows that for over three years I've worked to contribute positive stuff.
When the whole thing with him went down, I've tried to be as PC about it as possible.
And honestly there are some things I can't say because it's a legal thing.
What I can say is that I'm here to participate and be positive and to protect the GOOD name of my friends Stuart Spector and PJ Rubal.
Two men I am very thankful for to have the ability to call friends.
I know some of you this is out of the blue. But it really eats at me to know what I know and meanwhile, that guy is doing his con on new people.
I'm glad Jaime has that bass. Jamie is a good guy and I know Chris would be happy about that. Perhaps Steve has done one thing right.
But that doesn't mean the other nasty, nasty, horrible stuff he's done can be excused. There's no excuse for what he's done.
And I would NOT be your friend if I sat by and said nothing.
And now for something positive.
How many of you are Rex Brown fans?
How about Jeff Pilson?
Or Vinny Appice?
I was very fortunate in that I got to spend an afternoon in at Jeff Pilson's home in his personal studio with Rex, Vinny and Mark Zavon of Kill Devil Hill as they work on their 2nd album. Which will be out this fall.
Great guys. A great/awesome afternoon.
They're really all at the top of their game.
And Rex's tone CRUSHES.
Jeff is a great guy and I think John Deluca posted a photo on Facebook earlier today showing Jeff playing an NS-2 with Dokken back in the late 1980's.

I don't know of all the bad things Steve did or has done, I wanted to let everyone know about the where abouts of the bass and to say I'm honored to have participated in the original event in which the club came together to get the bass for Chris Loe and feel honored that I have some of what I would consider extremely good karma and magic in this bass that was given to me as a gift.
As far as Steve goes, I only know what he tells me and that is that he is very ill and seems to be when we have talked or video chatted. I am not privy to all the information you may have.
Thank you for the kind words about myself. Know that I don't want to cause any friction or debate within the club. I merely felt it necessary to speak on this gift I was given and thought it to be a generous kind act, that would allow me to maintain a memory of a wonderful human being....Chris Loe.
Chris, although I hardly knew him as well as Patrick or Sam or some others was always kind to me. He gifted my high school music program a educational copy of protools, an interface, and some small studio speakers. My musicians club at school uses them and all are very grateful. I only hope that Chris is smiling up in Heaven knowing that I have this bass and will play it well in his memory. I only hope to honor his memory every time I touch this instrument.

Here ya go. I was at this actual concert which was my first concert ever....Aerosmith and Dokken at the Spectrum in Philly 1987.

I saw that concert at the Cap Center in DC, slightly saddened as the had George pretty much collapse on stage by the end of their fourth song....Areosmith saved the show and played longer.....whew. Same year......my first concert was Heart and Honeymoon Suite in 1985 in Baltimore.
I was there too. 4th row on the floor right in front of George. You're right, Aerosmith came out and played 2 hours nonstop and blew the lid off the joint.

Regardless of some of the other mess, one bright positive is that the white IH of Chris Loe is with another well regarded member of this group. Congrats Jamie!

Big fan of Kill Devil Hill, can't wait to hear the new record!
On a side note, I can't find the Euro 435LX on the website? Am I blind or has it been discontinued or something?

That stinks that George couldn't make it through the show but also shows how great of a band Aerosmith is. I went to that concert only to see Dokken and came out of there a huge Aerosmith fan after seeing how great of a show they put on.
I have 2 older brothers so I grew up listening to them but never took the time to really listen to them so once I saw them, it opened my eyes. Steven Tyler was all over that stage doing flips and I remember Brad Whitford doing a really killer guitar solo.
I played a Euro 4LX TW at bass central last week. It was tuned EADG, but still had the thicker strings. That neck was bowing like crazy! I retuned it for them BEAD. It played and sounded really cool! I'm opening my mind about low tuning thing.
