Title: Dragon Wing - DW14500
Post by: geepee on July 04, 2023, 04:16:51 PM
Hiya folks, you may or may not have seen on facebook that I've recently added a Dragon Wing to the bass collection.


From what I know, there are very few out there. Does anybody know a rough number.


Here's mine - it's lovely. It's never been gigged, which I shall change asap. It's pretty much factory new.


The dream and collection has finally been completed...maybe!


Thanks for reading, if you did!


p.s. here's a video of it. https://youtu.be/l3W4_fGfjR4 (https://youtu.be/l3W4_fGfjR4)

When we saw it for sale in the neighborhood, I wondered if it would catch your eye. Nice addition to your collection, George! Congratulations & Compliments!

George,
you are nailing it to the point. 
The Dragons are gorgeous and imho
much more comfortable to play than the
Arachnids.
Cheers

Hi everybody,
it's be a while since I've posted in this thread but for those curious, I've whacked up a RUSH cover onto youtube! If you've got any feedback, I'll happily read it.


Cheers folks!

I like Rush and I like you covering Rush.
You had me at turning the LED’s on with the downbeat!  ;D

Thanks so much for your comments folks!


Hopefully it's still viewable, YT appears to have blocked it in some parts of the world. I really appreciate your feedback though, have a great week!

Nice! I only got to see a little at work, and now it's blocked.  :( I never thought to do a Rush cover on an Alembic. I've got a few up on YT, but they're all on a Ric. Might have to have a go at it. I don't have any gigs booked for a while.

Apart from John Entwhistle and the who, Rush was, i think, the first heavy rock band that i'd heard where the bass was the most interesting part of the music. I bought the moving pictures album after being introduced to it by a guy i worked with, and the bass lines are great. Never tried playing any but have rehearsed those bass lines in my head.
