what a great time bill and i had at alembic last friday. he val and i saw phil at bimbos the night before. As usual susan and the gang were just so accomodating. susan and i got a lot of work done on the tribute bass design and cats under the stars logo.
After we were done at alembic, Bill put together a jam at his studio and a good time was had by all.. be it brief...we kicked out some good tunes
including a rockin/bluesified johnny b goode, that i might try with my band....thanks bill!
panzer is one heck of a great guy.

here he is noodling on a tribute

That glimpse of a Triple O in post 648 really made me salivate. I still can't believe I've actually got one of those things...love the horn-mounted selector though.

Hi Jeff, great job on the photos. Very interesting to get a glimpse inside. I'm so jealous. Were those all new basses? Did you happen to see an old zebrawood Series I laying around waiting for an update? Great stuff!

great photos Jeff, I 'm not sure but that might be my Triple O with the selector on the horn and the knobby peghead in the setup room picture, 12th bass back, kind of hard to see in the pic, hopefully next stop the shipping room and to me

Hey Jeff

I was just there this past Thursday, when did you make the trip?

valvil · October 31, 2005, 03:19:59 PM

Jeff was here just after you Rory, he came by on Friday.

Hello Bruce, yes, that is your bass.

Hi Gary, if you look in Jeff's post (#648) above, you can actually see your bass at the bottom on the right. Hard to see the stripes on the Zebrawood, but it's your baby.
