When i saw them i think he had this one, and a back up.

 

[scuzzy]

always wanted to play one of these. only one local was quite pricey at the Bridgeton GC.

 

[Solipsistik]

Nope but I've seen them live mere feet away as they're a band from Kingston, ON. We generate some good ones here. His live tone is beastly.

I used to play those at Mars Music. It's kinda wild to think that 20 years ago there was a store here in Alabama that regularly had several Modulus basses hanging on the wall. Great sounding basses.

Id like one of those for throwing around I bet they are awesome

I bought one at Guitar Center when they were blowing them out for $1200. (Not recently)

He's a big dude, not 7' but still...

And he's Canadian, so I should have said "2.1336 meters". Heh. Anyways, I never heard of Headstones before. Checking out YouTube I like them. Will have to dig deeper and in those videos he looks kinda normal-ish height. Not sure what it is about the above picture that makes him look extra huge in my mind.

You're in for a treat if you like a weird mix of hard rocking, punk and radio-quality songs. Their live show can be pretty intense... I remember when they played at the Joe Chithalen event and all the Moist fans had crowded the stage, blocking Headstones fans from getting closer. Hugh abused them with spit and invective at every opportunity. "Are you having a good time, happy clappy fun-boy? *spit*"

Ah, the memories.

Yeah, something is up. He makes that bass look like a short scale. Big hands and big head I guess? (As a fellow big head, I am qualified to make this determination.)

Dudes face also looks carved out of granite. Talk about stage presence.

 

[kittywithabanjo]

yeah he is a tall dude they do a great show, Hugh is a legend, be prepared to here his mic getting dropped on the Stage alot, he also usually has about a 100 ft of cable on the mic (he uses the cord alot) to get out into the audience.

And he sweats maple syrup

That has the legendary Lane Poor pickup. That was the original recipe for the Modulus Flea, and they really do sound amazing.
