The Last Bass Outpost

In the middle ages (until deep into the 19th century) they drank beer mainly because it was too dangerous to drink water. Water was often polluted.
The beer they drank didn't have much alcohol in it (light beer avant la lettre). Even kids drank beer!

For what it's worth I don't see anyone claiming it is stock...
An amp that age may well have had some modifications/replacements done.

I own an old early seventies Ampeg V4B. I had the power transformer replaced as the original had a melt down. One the standby switch has been replaced once by a non original one (in the middle of a gig). I had to replace the power plug as the old one fell apart. Plus some resistors inside have been replaced.
Does that make my amp a fake?
I don't think so. For a full tube it's normal servicing (and sometimes resurrection even) over the years.

YMMV

Cool! Allen Woody is one of my favorite bass players.
(not that it makes those pickups sound different though...)

I'm still waiting on the good folks from BaCH to finally come up with their EB2/Rivoli tribute (both long and short scale ones)

Here's a video with the prototype.
Lots of bass...    On stage I hardly heard it. 

 

Those guys from New Zealand called Flight of The Conchords were obviously influenced by Aunty Jack.

Thanx guys.

@ Bret:
Yes these recordings are with the new guitarist.
Actually we haven't decided when and where we will record the new album.
Since the recording of the demo/worktapes that you've just heard was so incredibly easy (read cheap), we're even considering making the new album a live album.
A bit like what The Black Crowes did with their "Before the frost..." album.

All we need to do is record a live gig, use a little bit more mics. And have it mixed in a proper studio.
With our former guitarist that was out of the question as he would tense up if there was a tape running...
Fortunately our new guitarist does not have that problem.

Aha, so that Gloria Jones / Soft Cell hit could've been named Perineal Love...


Uwe's comment: Hah, Rob, you beat me to it, dirty minds obviously think alike!

If you look at the number of white Precison basses with a black pickguard Sid Vicious obviously still has a major influence on young bass players these days. Not his playing, but just the look of it.
