Finally got some video up on YouTube of Who's That at our last show. FOH was pretty basic, no subs mostly vocal though the PA everything else is stage volume. Our first show in over a year.

Good stuff! Looks like a fun gig.
My wife laughs at me when I am packing a bass for shipping because I go a bit overboard. I just hate it when I buy something and it arrives damaged, especially when the packing job is
so I do my best to ensure nothing happens to anything I ship.The worst package I received was an Epi BlackBird with the headstock snapped of. The seller used very little bubble wrap around the body and no protection around the neck at all, so no surprise it was damaged.
The second worst shipment was my green Epi NR. The bass was put in the case, a shipping label attached to the handle, and shipped. Nothing keeping the case closed, no protection of any kind in the case, address was wrong, but somehow it arrived at the office. The UPS driver was even going door to door looking for me because there was no suite # on the tag. Its a miracle that it made it here.
That's a mean looking cat.
We played the Bowery Electric last night. Good gig. They have a number of house bass heads, including a GK 700RB. Perfect. But the house Ampeg 410 has one busted cone. That made it tricky to eq. Apparently it's been like that since before the pandemic. I find that ridiculous for a club of this level. A cheap used Hartke cab would be a step up from this piece of crap.
OK, 2 thoughts. (A) pretty lame, (2) no place here provides anything. Our gig tonight? Weprovide the PA, all amps, drums, mics, whatever. I'd be pleasantly surprised to find gear on stage. (One place we play has a a poorly set up PA. It's not hooked up.)
Sounds great! Your guitarist is really good.
thanks for being so awesome Guys,
drummer (Nestor Gomez) is the one on the right...GREAT player....talk about a UN band (other than for the drummer, different band from one on the recording)... nationalities from L to R... Austria, US, UK, Argentina....photo taken in France in 88.....notice no mullet for me...

the residency contracts we used to get were pretty upmarket, hence a pretty strict dress code for the bands….in some instances the horn sections (we used one on occasion when the club stage permitted it) had to wear black tie…..add to that the fact that Miami Vice was all the rave at the time…
Awwww... That's so cute. The kitten is nice too.
Yeah, just like we discussed. Keep denying as long as you can.
Excellent. From the first clip, it looked like you were all hiding your feet leading me to believe that you all were wearing sandals with white socks. But the second clip put that to rest.
That is a rather dashing group of players.
Of course, let’s not forget the original Miami Vice “Don Johnson look” which featured a sport jacket worn over a tee shirt and a carefully crafted six o’clock shadow was non other than Jed Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies.
The bass player is no slouch!
