Yup. Uwe's fave colors  ;D

Scharz-Rot-Gold!

Even the horizon has it at dawn:

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

My sincerest apologies for complete lack of Gibson content here.



Every year we play an event called 500 Songs For Kids, a great organization and we love being asked to participate.  500 different bands over multiple weekends perform one song each.  Songs are selected for each band a month before the show and this year we were assigned Buddy Holly by Weezer and decided to dress the part.  Aside from being stuck playing a rented jazz bass it was a pretty good night!  ;D

We're recording new songs with Definition Of Madmen.

Here's a pic from last week during pre-production



And these two were taken today in between recording sessions for drums and bass.

Rob... playing a Thunderbird...? :o
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Indeed it's my trusted Greco.
I've been using this bass (along with the Gibson Les Paul Bass) on several studio recordings with Superfloor and Definition Of Madmen.
It has a great growly tone.
For the recordings we did yesterday, I strung her up with 70 - 135 for drop C tuning. Heavy!

Gibson or not, the matching cardigans make more than up for it.  8)

I forget if I've posted this before... but if you're going to fight off a ceiling-mounted shark at the club, you need a bass with some heft to it.

Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy
