Haha, I'm afraid you're right.
I do try to break loose from the trusted favorite. And I do appreciate the charm of every other bass I own.
But somehow I always keep looking for that sound. And there's only one bass that has it...

D'oh of course Larry Graham  :-[   (I was too caught up in the Wild Romance)

No he didn't play a Warwick. He played an all white Jazz Bass (white fretboard even)

Yes they played Saturday Night. It was the encore. Technically it was already saturday  ;)

They have a Herman Brood look-a-like who does a good job.
I'm in two minds about him. He doesn't overdo it. But there are moments it gets close to a cabaret...

bad audio:



slightly better audio (from the gig they did yesterday afternoon, before they came to Arnhem)




Larry who??

Their bass player is Rudy Englebert who was with the Wild Romance in the late eighties



Her's some Superfloor pix:

Just got back from a gig in our hometown Arnhem. The venue is called Luxor. It's an old movie theatre from the early 1910 era. The acoustics are horrible but it  it looks awesome... 8)

We did a support for The Wild Romance who used to be the band of a legendary Dutch rock n roll junkie called Herman Brood.
Brood died ten years ago. The band got back together this year. They've been playing their asses off lately ( 24 gigs in one month)

Their lead guitarist Danny Lademacher is an amazing guitarist. He plays beautiful short solos, to the point and melodic.
Plus he's a very gentle person. I am really thrilled I got to meet him backstage and chat with him before and after the gig.

When I got back home just an hour ago I switched on the TV and there was a concert of Larry Graham live at the North Sea Jazz Festival.
Wow! What a tight band! Great horn section. Great Show. Great way to finish a lovely day  :toast:

I bet all guitarists they asked refused to demonstrate it. And Henry J said; I'll have to do it myself...

Maybe that might have something to do with the fact that it's a longscale bass? The bridge is so close to the edge that there's no room for a large bevelled edge at the bottom.

He just chose to make it more ergonomical
