Cold fried chicken? Heard that is a club favorite.

Their exaggerated performance was their norm. I love seeing entertainers entertaining 'larger than life'. Mark Steins' (keys/singing) hand gestures were consistent with other late '60s performers like Dusty Springfield and Scott Walker/Walker Brothers. Very emotive/expressive like actors on stage - it was as studied and rehearsed as their music and created a full entertainment experience for an audience.

It's so exaggerated it's funny - but then consider how much you'd have to rehearse to perform like that while killing it musically and funny turns to respect and admiration for those skills as a true performer. John Bonham credited Carmine Appice as his biggest influence. High praise that...
that combo rips….better than with the tube SVT top imho…
Great action shot!
One of these days I’ve gotta try one of those Greco Rics.
The boots are even awesome.
I really can't recommend them enough, I far prefer it to the 4001v63 I had, which itself was a very good bass. Both the white now-4000 and maple 4001 are great, but the maple one has something a little bit more going on. Just a bit more resonant and bright sounding, a little bit more aggressive. The 4000 is a bit darker sounding, and a little less resonant.
That's funny. Thanks George! Jaysis... Any near-reference to Tim Bogart goes quietly into my personal "Best of" folder!Excellent! That’s a very full sounding 4 piece band.
Kinda threw me back to Vanilla Fudge - “Keep Me Hanging On” for some reason. All you need is a keyboard player and you’ll out Fudge Vanilla Fudge.
Hell yeah, that's one of our reggae gigs! Been a dog's age now...
The MK-III is getting a checkup now. When it's back I'll give it another A/B with Tubezilla. After all over been hearing if better get this right...
where do you take them for servicing? Boston?
She doesn't know you posted that, does she?
Chuck and Robin still running it?
No.She doesn't know you posted that, does she?

Our keyboard player was out of town (SWSX or whatever is going on in Austin just now) so there was plenty of room to spread out and play as a four piece in the rehearsal room last night. This bass just sounds so ^&%$#*( good! The Trace Elliott/SWR/Thunderbird = perfect!
Ears are ringing a little this AM.

So awesome!
Did some more testing with the Boss LS-2 clean blending. I had the MXR OD in the B loop and put a low pass filter to the A loop so when engaged the lpf cut the frequenzies above circa 600hz (from the clean signal only). Without the LPF it sounds fine but I find that with a not-so-heavy overdrive the clean blended tone is too overpowering and the whole mix sounds a little bit artificial. With the LPF it sounds more like the OD itself (hey, that could be a BÖC title) but with the low end intact.
Three different sound clips with all pickup variations. On all of them first OD only , then OD with the clean blended and then OD with the LPF'd clean blended.
