WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

[sonicus]

Hello Rob ,  That tone is wonderful , I agree 1000%.
 
 I have experimented with a stack of similar speakers and  power amps .
ALEMBIC Series II Bass strung with Pyramid Gold strings -  Alembic IN-2 -SF-1 Superfilter-  Alembic F2B preamp -Yamaha P2200 power amp X 2 - 4 Alembic A15 type  cabinets with Gauss 4580's  -1 Alembic B12 type cabinet W/ JBL K120's   -     I  Alembic A18 with 18' Gauss.  
 
The above produced  Sweet Thunder   however the slightly overdriven top end was missing that was INDEED PRODUCED FROM THE VERSATONE AMP ! ---- I know someone who had a pristine old one in perfect shape for sale, But those things did not have the build quality that I would expect for what the asking price was .  I know someone that has a schematic for those.  I  think I know what is inside . There would be another way to get their effect if I really wanted my top end overdriven. Bi amp a mono feed and send highs  to an amp to over drive the highs a bit  and a  few small speakers - 12's or 10's. ____ Experiment are fun .

I am glad you like it Dave. Back then when I heard and saw  Jack Casady play 72-001 and Phil Lesh playing in The Dead is what made me want to play Bass as a 14 year old trumpet player .  I thought , LIKE ____WOW man . .    This video Still made me say WOW,  just today even  !

Really enjoyed the Hot Tuna concert. It was great to see #72-01 in action! The audio wasn't too bad either. Thanks Wolf, for posting the link. Much appreciated!

Just listened to the Budos Band cd; sounds like a Tarantino soundtrack, can't wait for the movie...

[pauldo]

I wish the Budos Band would swing through the midwest on a tour . . . . they could have Quentin film them.
 
Simply perfect title; The Burnt Offerings Tour!

Yesterday, at a restaurant in Key West, I heard a rasta guy with a drum machine and steel drums playing what I eventually realized was Reflections by The Supremes, and Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke.  Strange.

Tone Poems by David Grisman and Tony Rice. Learning a few tunes off this incredible work for the new bluegrass project with which I'm involved. Finding it hard to stay on task at practice though because I'm getting so caught up in listening to the beautiful guitar and mandolin work.

[edwardofhuncote]

That's a great project, as are the other volumes of Tone Poems. Sadly, Tony Rice is really ailing these days. Poor fella looks terribly frail. He's been one of my musical heroes for 30 years on now.

Hot Tuna, full concert, 6/24/11- Wolfgang's Vault. Nice acoustic gig with good audio and video, with interview afterwards. Recorded right at Wolfgang's Vault in San Francisco. This may seem like a foolish question to the more senior members here, but are you connected to that, Wolf? Just curious...

[sonicus]

HI Rob ,   Questions are a positive inclination for the truth !  That is all good brother .
             I was once an employee of Mr. Bill Graham (Concert promoter) in the late 1970's to early 1980's .  I do not have any  affiliation with  Wolfgang's Vault other then being on their email list .  
 
Sonic Regards ,
