Post by: jimbryan on February 15, 2015, 04:18:04 AM: Thought you might like to see a new band I have joined called Bagge Of Nuts.I am playing my trusty Distillate which sounds great with my EBS 350 and 1x15 cab.

That was pretty rocking as Pauldo said loved the fills! Is that a standard Distillate? If you get a chance post some pics of them Bass.
Rock On Brother!

Post by: David Houck on February 15, 2015, 03:13:34 PM: Cool! Just watched the I Shot the Sheriff video as well. In that one, you can see the front of the bass a little better; still kind of hard to tell, but looks like a top mounted control cavity plate with custom pickup placement.

The extra pickup is a Dan Armstrong from an Alembic mould (I believe)

THAT's who.

Nice work, JB. I love trios done right (like yours) where the guitarist doesn't suck all the room out on arrangement and the bassist can cover some extra ground while still holding things together. Great tone with the EBS.

I love really good slide work, this is very subtle but right to the point. You would go down great here in the North East of England!

Post by: hammer on February 19, 2015, 09:32:52 AM: Oh yeah...your group had a drummer. I didn't notice at first. Just kidding!!!

Well not totally. One of the characteristics IMHO of good drummers (as well as bassists) is that, at least in many types of R&R, they are there and make an important contribution but don't necessarily standout. They put down the groove so effortlessly that they permit others to standout.

Post by: gearhed289 on February 19, 2015, 09:58:08 AM: Great range of tones out of that Distillate! And great playing too. Guitar sounds killer, and the drummer sounds like a ton of fun to jam with.
