Not a gig as such but I'm popping to a local Bass Bash in Leicester put on by some members of the Basschat UK forum this afternoon and have decided after a lot of procrastination this morning to carry a couple of my alembics with me . This is not easy as you know i'm not in the habit of letting my basses go in the hands of anyone else so I'm pretty nervous about it. But generally I have found that site is not too complimentary overall about alembics or other high end "Coffee Table" basses so I hope once they have a chance to try one out that may enighten a few. I doubt if I will play anyone else's bass unless there is a Ritter there. No series basses that would be a step too far but I'm taking my Black Europa 5 and purple Elan 4 so that should cover a lot of bass ground.

The only way that gets better Jazzy... roll up in a Lotus Elan or Europa, with an Elan and Europa bass.  ;D

Wave at my home-folks over in Huncote.   ;)

Well..... I invited everyone to have a go but all except one guy was too scared to even touch any of my basses never mind play one of them. I would have thought more would have taken the opportunity to try out. Quite a few came to ask questions about them and were very complimentary about alembic generally and the build quality. They were a nice bunch of guys though.

Did they get to hear you play your Alembics?

Hi David, not many as I wasn't able to plug into an amp until the very end when everyone was packing up. I got to try out a Barefaced Speaker cab and a thunder funk amp.

Here are some of the tracks I played on the Dreadbeat and Jazz session with my NotStrictlyJazz quartet & Friends in March this year. Some on mobile phone and some recorded on my Can on 5D SLR so the quality varies between clips but enough to get the vibe.
This was also the first gig with me using my new redwood Alembic Series I Europa 5 bass.

Just finished watching the clips.  Great show; the musicians all played wonderfully.
