The Fraulein is promoting the use of toys with batteries... and with Lawyer approval...?

Shocking... truly shocking...

Oops, sorry Mark, I had skipped the video not realizing it was your band. That Jackson sounds great.

Here's a video of Badlands featuring Greg Chaisson on a BC Rich Thunderbird type bass.






On a side note: Greg is fighting cancer at the moment. The cancer seems to have started on the base of the tongue and then spread to the lymph nodes. His lymph nodes have been removed. Once his surgery has healed he will start radiation and chemo. His prognosis is good.
Another great bass player / musician that needs some support and get well wishes (and prayers if you're a religious person).

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

It's a good thing that the early 70ies - or should I say late 60ies? - apparently never stopped.  This is so retro, it's endearing. Reminds me of Zephyr.

Very derivative but very endearing, too.  I'd say maybe more early 70s than late 60s, but that's a judgment call.  I wouldn't have known they were from Sweden if I hadn't looked it up.

To my taste buds Zephyr had a much more jazzy slant to their music ...... plus a young Tommy Bolin and what a unique guitarist he was !

True, Zephyr were jazzier, that was the Hammond player in part, but Bolin could easily slip in a jazz mode too. It explained why he would end up on Billy Cobham and Alphonse Mouzon albums, and of course his own failed Energy project was an attempt of cracking the early 7Oies jazz rock market in the wake of the Mahavishnu Orchestra too. When Bolin's guitar playing got frenzied, it always reminded me of Be Bop Jazz, think Charlie Parker.

Pond - Rock Collection (live)



Quite a mundane punk ballad, but with a really filthy bass tone.

I know nothing about Pond other than that they spanned a weird musical chasm between US hardcore, post-punk and (proto) emo music. So niche that my buddy who is into hardcore (American Football et al) hadn't even heard of them. Their album "The Practice of Joy Before Death' has some suitably chunky bass tones.

Been 35 years or more since I've heard that Zephyr album...I bought it for like fifty cents brand new from the cut-out bin at a Camelot Records a bazillion years ago.

Poor man's Janis Joplin or not, they had their moments. They matured on the second album and the (in effect: Bolin's) songwriting perked up. This could have been a hit.
