Miscellaneous / Congratulations!

Last post by cozmik_cowboy - Yesterday at 06:35:37 AM

Just read that Molly Tuttle (whose stuff I have posted over in the "Listening" thread - but not nearly as much as Greg has) married Old Crow Medicine Show's Ketch Secor on the 22nd of this month.

He's the one who found an old tape with Dylan singing part of a song that was meant for Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, and had the stones to finish the lyrics 30 years later (he knows Jakob Dylan, so had him ask -after Bob the fact - if it was OK; Bob said "Sure, as long I get writing credit, too."
That is "Wagon Wheel", which my youngest calls "Stringband Free Bird"; they all do it.

Best wishes to the happy - and muy talented - couple!

Peter

Seen on craigslist, eBay, and elsewhere / For Walter Woods Folks...

I happened to spot this odd item in the Talkbass Classifieds. I know a couple folks here have Walter Woods amps... this apparently is made to bridge the stereo output.

Butch at Bayou Cables is mostly retired from making custom cables, but his wares are famously well-made.

I expect the extra switches are mono/stereo and side leds.

and weren't we just discussing how long it'd been since we saw our last spyder? that's $13742 USD more or less. not unreasonable. imho. ymmv. dunno what it'd take to get it to the U.S of A. but it's moot for me as i've self-ejected myself from the market. all the rest of ya'll have at. she sure is a pretty old gal. good luck to all!

I just noticed that some of the older links don't work anymore, probably due to the website change. Oh well, they can be found if someone really wants to look! In the meantime, I just posted this Scorpions bass cover using the AlFeXTemBoses:

Classic Scorpions bassist Francis Buchholz passed away in January this year, a few months after I recorded this bass cover. He was in Dawn Road with the astounding guitarist Uli Jon Roth, and they later combined with the remains of Scorpions after Michael Schenker left to join UFO. For whatever reason, "heavy metal" has long been one of my main influences, and Scorpions are a big part of that.

I find that having a graphite necked bass with Alembic pickups & electronics is a wonderful combination allowing a kind of precision and balance from the graphite together with an Alembicized tonal warmth. This bass is definitely one of my go-to's.
