Stanley @ the Jacksonville Jazz Festival 4/10/05

[bracheen]

The Jacksonville Jazz Festival is an annual event here spread over several venues.  It is on a weekend and for the most part free to the public. Stanley Clark and George Duke performed together this year.  
I can't take credit for the photo.  I took it from the website of the local newspaper.

Hm, it doesn't have the dragon inlay, and the neck lams look like purpleheart - so it can't be the 30th Anniversary.

[grateful]

Good eyes Adriaan:  I can see there's no dragon but how can you see the purpleheart neck lams?
 
Mark, ago

[adriaan]

Ebony would be nearly black, and these lams are red.

[marcm]

quite right, adriaan.  my mistake
 
nevertheless it is a lovely bass with a very skinny neck

Physical dimensions are the same as his Dragon's Breath - but this one's all Vermilion and Maple - even the neck.

[marcm]

hey mica, is that an ebony front peghead laminate, or is it vermilion in low light?  it's quite dark, but it does seem to have a tinge of red in it

The peghead faces are vermilion as well. I just spoke with Stan's manager, and as much as he loves the new bass, he's still a little wary about taking it on the road. So unless you see him play in southern California, you probably won't see the Dragon's Breath live for a while.
