yea, that bass would be to beautiful to just have it made and not use it(even normally), i will definetly have to try to find that video.

Mica, is there anyway Alembic would do something like this today???

Also check out the Grateful Dead Movie for shots of this bass (although he doesn't activate the quad feature, and switches basses during the show).

is there a definitive recording of phil's quad sound on some sort of dicks pick or any release for that matter?
thanks

I just heard a concert on the Sirius GD channel, and each bass string was panned separately across the stereo field - so I know there's plenty of boards out there where you can hear it. Sorry - I don't remember what show it was, I just remember hearing each bass string come at me from a different direction!

I had a tape - JFK '73 maybe? - with a crazy bass solo during Dark Star where Phil was kind of playing a traditional rock and roll line and two strings were on the left and two on the right. Sorry I don't have more details. I haven't noticed the quad effect in any Dick's Picks that I've listened to recently - hmm, good excuse to go back and listen again...

Besides the Osage-Orange, what were the rest of the woods used in this bass?

Huh,hadn't seen those before. I guess I didn't dig deep enough. Whose the guy w/ the cowboy fancy who doesn't look like Bobby? Is it still Bob?

I'm not sure who doesn't look like Bobby to you, everyone looks like Bobby! Seriously, though, he's the only guy playing the cowboy fancy.
