The show was great. Allan Holdsworth was on fire. The Baked Potato holds no more than 100 people, we were like 20 feet from the band. We saw the late set which was about 90 minutes. I'm not that familiar with his material to know what the set list was, but it was jazz fusion guitar at it's best. Just a trio, guitar, bass, and drums. After the show we met Allan, Chad Wakerman, and Jimmy Johnson, Shook hands, took pictures(which I hope my friend emails me real soon), and had them sign some cd covers. We were working the room :lol: Holdsworth is a guitar monster. Had a great time, hit Denny's on the way back, and got the lumberjack slam. Back home at 4:00am...Now I feel like a Baked Potato :cheers:I'll post some pics when I get them............

Sounds like the ultimate night out to me!

AH is THE guitar monster of all time in my book - what a tone!

VERY COOL

How was the sound?

I've never seen a Series II with the controls layed out in that pattern before..... then again, I haven't seen too many Series II basses before.

For those in the know, is that a normal layout?

David Houck · « **Reply #8 on:** January 19, 2008, 04:55:26 PM »

I agree. I think the standard layout for a pre-'86 would be similar to this bass.

The room was small, and the sound was great. Watching AH switch from finger picking to flat picking was cool, plus his left hand hammer-ons, and pull-offs were out of site. A lot of his sound is done with a volume pedal. Jimmy's bass rig (which we got no pics of)was some kind of preamp, and two 10 speakers, I didnt see a power amp..I dunno...

You can just see Jimmy Johnson's setup in bottom right hand corner of this pic of Chad Wackerman and me..

Out front.

David Houck · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2008, 06:11:36 PM »

So I'm wondering what Jimmy's bass is hanging from?

The amp looks like it's got a five pin input.

crobbins · « **Reply #13 on:** January 19, 2008, 06:26:10 PM »

Probably a nail. I didnt look.....Lol...

Allan Holdsworth's guitar rig.
