The Last Bass Outpost

Up until the comments about Rock and Roll Over (my fav), I pretty much agree with everything Uwe has said here. I've had Resurrected since it came out, and I think it sounds great! The liner notes are especially interesting, giving insight to the fact that there wasn't a WHOLE lot Ezrin could do to it, with drums and guitars already sub-mixed to stereo tracks, effects having been printed to tape, etc. The dynamics and clarity (bye bye Phil Spector indeed!) make it a much better listen than the original. Most of the songs on Destroyer are great, though I NEVER cared for Great Ex. or Beth. The production always bothered me though, as I always wanted to hear them playing live. Now, drums sound better, bass sounds better, the upright bass on Beth sounds killer, etc. etc.

And my first concert - KISS, BOC, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Bob Segar.... August 29, 1976. Tickets were EIGHT dollars!

Cool little bass. Set neck, or bolt-on? 22 frets is weird... The knobs are laid out a little different than an EB-3, correct?

That's ridiculously cool! Rock on!

 


I gotta keep using it or it will think I don't care anymore. 

Use it or lose it!

Indonesia - could be a Samick product. I like their stuff as far as imports go.

I always liked Lake's bass playing. There's some great piano/bass interludes on Trilogy that gave my chops a workout as a teen.

So much for going out on a high note.  Somebody call Dr. Kevorkian!

That sucks. I had my truck broken into once. Basically just lost a nice leather bag with a change of clothes and toiletries, but it's a disturbing feeling for sure. I too was in apartment maintenance for 10 years and had a single master key to 750 units. I tend to wanna trust people, but this def sounds fishy.
