Chris, I like it.  Great sound, songs, voice.  Too bad that Unabashedly had to be written but it says it all pretty clearly.
What kind of bass and rig are you using?

thanks for the kind words.
on the alembic tracks i use 2 avalon u5 direct boxes
one for each pick up and computer plug ins for slight compression mod effects and distortion, no extra eq other than the main mix eq.
same thing on the other basses 1982 steinberger L2 5  on fretless parts  and an 85 stingray (on uabashadly political)
live i use an ebs hd 650 and an ebs 4-10 cab when i use a rig,
lately i have been digging just using an avalon u5 preamp and a set of shure e5 headphones. very easy to move and with a decent monitor mix it kills.

Hooks, your my hero. If it wasnt for that darn Mike it would have been mine! Mine will be here in December. We will hook up and play.

I like your attitude, sir.

thanks, this bass has been a real joy to play unfortunately playing it live in some of the bars i play  too much noise to be usefull
but the nicer clubs without 500 neon budweiser signs she's as quite as a mouse. no problem with noise in the studio either.
and i think i would rather buy another one (ha who wouldn't?)
instead of modifying her.
