Title: A blast from my own past
Post by: edwin on May 02, 2018, 05:14:32 PM: Just found this video. I had no idea it existed.

From when I wished I had an Alembic. And when I knew how to play the bass.

Nice.

Very cool vintage video - I thought it was a Mark King bass, but it has a headstock...

I listened to some of the Denver Shockra reunion show on the LMA and the band still sounds great despite the long layoff.

That's it! I know Edwin has/had one, I played it once when I was looking into getting one of my own. But I don't think this is it.
