May your Christmas be doubly merry! (Maple "snow" ornament made of wood shavings from the Alembic workshop floor)

That wasn't there last time I looked.I'm actually not convinced that we know anything - which is what bugs me!
As Harry noted above, there was a conflict between what the Guild rep told him and what the rep told a FB friend.
This settles it, and IMHO it's unfortunate. Not just because I don't care for the Darkstar, but because it's not going to sound like the original. What I really find odd is the cult following based on what Jack Casady and Phil Lesh stopped using decades ago.
Seeing Pert's kit in that first pic in the OP makes me sick to me stomach (but I did stuff myself on all you can east sushi earlier so my threshold is low).He had a Yamaha X7 (I think?) for the first set, then at one point they replaced it with the Little Phatty. He's been using it for a couple of years now. At least he's using a real Moog!
Also interesting to see Geddy rocking a Moog Little Phatty vs any of his serious vintage stuff.
How did you like it Harry? As a fan since 1978, I thought they did a spectacular job of pleasing us. I had 3 wishes - amp stacks (real or fake), double necks, and Jacob's Ladder. And they delivered! They've even pulled out "Losing It", complete with live violin in a few cities. Class act all the way!I enjoyed it! We had pretty good seats - the crowd was pretty good except a couple of people in front of us started taking cell phone videos of practically everything in the second set. Oh well, tried not to let it bother me.
Only four vocalists, three lead guitarists, three bassists, two keyboarders and one drummer so far!!!I had a Pete Frame family tree of Deep Purple that came with a greatest hits album I think from around 1985, kind of like this one: http://familyofrock.net/deep-purple-roots-and-branches-1963-1979/
Nice! Rare neck through. And a Hipshot bridge...Jeez, I wasn't even paying attention - of course it's a neck through so it won't make sense to submit it to Ilan's spatial analysis. Hey it was a busy weekend!
I guess Rickenbacker basses are made, to some degree, by eye. The bridges don't always sit on the centre line because they are mounted with the instrument strung to make sure the alignment is good at the end of the neck? I'm not sure, but I have a small amount of 4000 GAS after watching Stanley Clarke playing a Jetglo one in an early Return to Forever video a few weeks back.That RTF video definitely made me want a 4000 too! I always wondered what bass he was using on Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy - if it's the 4000 then that would be very cool.
