I tried doing a 2 bass band. Always wanted to do that. But the other bass player said no one could ever say I sound like anyone else. But that was a little unreasonable. Especially when I told him that Alembic basses have a distinct sound and my sound has been compared to Stanley Clarke or Mark King so he said that wasn't acceptable. He played a left handed Precision copy bass upside down with a 5lb weight duct taped to the back so it would balance and was playing through I don't know what piece of crap. Needless to say I quit. But would like trying that situation both ways. I have an Alembic tenor bass as well as 32,34 and 35 Alembics. And 1 very small amp. Ha Ha. Charlie, Thanks for the nice words. Enjoyed the visit and look forward to another. Full moon this weekend but doesn't look feasible. The fish are Muskies and the moon phase is important when trying to catch the biggest ones. Maybe soon. I'll try to post a picture of the replica I had built of one with the guy holding it before final painting. Would have broke PA State Record

I use to fish Muskies in the rivers in Michigan when I was younger. Tough to land em for sure. I just moved from Mt. Airy to Oreland due to another disaster with a woman. The more it hurts, the more soulful the music gets!
Im curious how Pierre likes that Yamaha amp in his rig?
Mike Gordon's tone was killer the last two nights. I think he tweaked something the second night because I thought it sounded better. That Modulus was kicking!

Yamaha is an old story: it was the first poewr amp I used in 80' in my first rigs.
And now, is a good reliable poweramp, powerful, clear sound, no noise... just a little heavy (11kg) and not so expensive

My Alembic Basses I built my Big Rig for.
They sound great through it.
