Ha Ha Ha!!! Keavin!! I'm really sorry that I didn't get a chance to meet you man! You are a funny guy!
Olie, Is your head numb from the volume of the amps or the musicianship?

-Yes Charles - that is my Distillate being assaulted by Keavin. And he can have his way with it the next time we get together! :-)

I'm hoping Olie says musicianship - goodness knows Olie was laying down some incredible grooves, it was fun watching him - he would get a calm serene look on his face - all the while his fingers are just burning all over the bass.

I personally fell in love with the Bag Ends - they have incredible response, like Keavin said we played through all types of combinations and everything sounded GREAT! The speakers are a great match with an Alembic, as you dig in they responded seamlessly... for a further description of the 4 - 21's see my apology in the Gatherings section - I got really carried away with a low D.

Ok, I'll read the Gatherings Paul.
Keavin does have an intense look on his face while thumping your axe! He must be an awesome bassist in order for you to say such things about him.

It was a combo of both Paul.

Thanks for the kinds words but It was all I could do to keep up with you, Keavin and John. That serene look was from me trying not to get lost.

OO

Btw, Olie is a really great guy. A pleasure to meet him.

Thanks! Question~ I have never heard the mono version of the Clarke Axe. Sound-wise, How does it differ from the series basses? For me I love the series basses because it seems like you have more options timbre-wise. Is that true? Or can you use a stereo Y cord for a signature bass and connect it to two amplifiers and dial in the same tones as the series basses?
