Am I the only one who prefers the sound of 2x12s? My R100 has a single 12, but I've had the opportunity to play through 2 of 'em, daisy chained, for 200W>2x12. SWEET!

I'm a big fan of that, as you know. But in a perfect world, I'd have a folder horn setup. That rig at Dave's shop at the 23gtg was amaze[bodyparts].
 
But even today, the bass player typically gets the least camera time. Other than cute women (Tal always gets camera time), but if the whole band is women, the basis will still usually get short shrift.

It is odd ... brings to mind...

I listened to it and realized it's one of the songs on my Dusty Springfield "greatest hits" CD, a song from the most excellent "Dusty in Nashville" LP which produced this classic Dusty song -

Great bass-line, and classic hand gestures that Dusty incorporated. Watch it with the sound off for full effect - it's like a tutorial on effective use of hand gestures while performing! We have a running 'joke' (more of a smile-generator) in TSC with Kirstin emulating Dusty's hand gestures when playing her songs in rehearsal and live. Most likely we are the only ones who 'get it'. :) In her transition from '50s/'60s "bee-hive" hairdo to something more 70's ... incorporating it helped her create a visually taller figure performing as she was a petite woman.


We do Son of a Preacherman in Code Delta. It's one of our best sounding harmonies imo. Sometimes Em sings "Son of a Fisherman", cause Mike is.

Excellent - you need to get Em "on board" with the 'patented' Dusty hand-gestures! :bassist:
