This mini-gathering was a lot of fun! I thought I would put up a couple more pictures while we wait for Nick to get home!  Wolf is a great bassist, but I didn't get any pics of him playing - I was playing drums while he was playing Nick's bass. So here's a shot of Wolf playing drums with Nick on bass:  

  And here's a close-up of Nick's Series II headstock - very interesting logo, especially considering that it's a '76:  

  That's my Phil Jones Bass Suitcase - I think it availed itself quite nicely - and Bill's blue box that he lent us - thanks Bill!

Couldn't help but notice the picture on the back wall.  Looks like a variation of the Blues for Allah album cover.
 
And yes, that peghead is very cool!

Good eye Dave.  It's a Blues for Allah promo from a Pasadena music store that I've had since the album came out in the 70's.
 
Bill, tgo

Bill's place is a heads paradise. The art, the guitars, the ah atmosphere. Fantastic! So, here are some pic's. I am going to start a knobby head thread, and put more pic's in it. But here are a few to get started!

Cool! In that first shot, it looks like I'm playing a Theremin or some weird electric upright, but it's Bill's Bose speaker thing behind me...
