Davehouck....'...heats up and moves' yep everything in the world as we know it, nothing is invincible from friction and heat..even the sun will eventually 'wear out'.

Man, my first steps to an education was at John Muir Elementary (Pre-School) in San Francisco. That was in 1969.

I was listening to Jimi and watching Playboy After Dark and Dick Cavett's -- watching Miles, Sammy, Dizzy, Sarah, Sinatra, Dinah and other true musicians make sound for my young ears.

My Dad played Jazz Sax in those days to pay bills and to complete his education at UC. Man those were some very difficult, but most remembered times in my life. The music was the best ever.
I hope to meet you someday #12.

My bass was ordered through 8th street music in 1975 and layed down the bottom for Dem Bones until they disbanded.
When I first played it, my two basses were a Guild Starfire and a 69 Frettless P-bass...
neither one came close to this Alembic that my friend Paul had purchased, but then neither did my budget....
terryc you will be happy to know I cleaned and dressed the fretboard with lemon oil right after that picture.
The silver inlay at the 7th fret has lost about a third of the inlay. I'm anxious to see if my luthier could address that issue. Also I don't see silver inlay on the position markers of any other basses when I look through pictures...did they discontinue it?

KBLX was my one of favorite station in the mid to late 70's and early 80's.

KJAZ was my favorite. KPFA was pushing Jazz at a cult level. Man, I had my tape ready to record whenever those stations aired.

I have a lot of recordings I'd done over the years too. However, I was playing more of a rock guitar and not much bass. My focus now is bass. I want to come home to the Funk now. Theirs no other music that brings more happiness than Funk. Better yet, I don't call it Funk, I call it
The FAA-OWN-K LOL!

Kenn; beautiful bass! Congrats!!

On your question of editing; I went ahead and edited the post for you, but two things you might find helpful:

- In the upper right hand corner of your post there is a paper and pencil icon that for around 48 hours you can click on to edit your posts.

- When you load your pictures, place a carriage return (enter key) after the text preceding the first picture and after each picture.
