The Last Bass Outpost

Carlo, what's that PAF DiMarzio like?  I have a Carvin LB20 that I really love because of its neck.  It's been living at my friend's place for when we play together.  It's got their J99 single coils in it and I'm thinking of putting in beefier pickups and taking it out more.  Looking at options.

The split coil magnets are ceramic so they're more agressive alnico. To me the parallel wiring option is just slightly hotter than a Fender Jazz and the series option adds meat. Scott's the expert on Dimarzios IMO!

   Exposer, hmmmmm sounds familiar! Lol My band in Boston was named EXPOSE! We were top of the pile in 1984-1986 courted by record companies,  in national rotation on WBCN, road crew, limos etc then it all went poof! EXPOSER almost sounds like another siggy bass! https://youtu.be/E1fP5tLo_oA?si=4uD1LplC1goDD8Nu

Sax playing is always cool and he was a master in any genre.

The clip of Jo-El Sonnier and Richard Thompson I posted when Jo-El passed was from his Night Music show.

RIP, sir.

I know, I know, after a revival in the 80ies, sax playing became all of the sudden uncool again, something best left to lounge music and 80ies porn flick muzak. No matter, I continue to like it, blow your alluring horn up there, David!

But how could they not mention Nena? He plays the magnificent sax solo at the end of ‘?’ (the song was indeed called question mark or Fragezeichen in German) although the guy miming is of course not David.



He’s on here as well (no, not the hottie with the jet black pixie cut at 02:04, but he played it!):



Yeah, porn sax alright, but I STILL LIKE IT !!!
