Oh dear.... Bucky, your bass is gorgeous but the one I saw in the shop was  pasewark's. doh!

Bucky, I'd love to see more pics of your short scale. I love the old ones.

pasewark: if you go to this page in the Showcase section there are some pictures of my Small Standard Sn 74-52 http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/411/16053.html I'll post more if you'd like. .

Thanks Bucky,
Brings back many memories. My birds eye maple short scale was my first Alembic and it looked a lot like yours. I bought mine in 1980 used at 48th Street for $800. Dela 217 owned it after me and now I hear its living in Europe. I loved the neck, the scalloped nut. The series electronics need a little work and the bridge was played hard, so I sent it to Alembic to have it fixed up. The new one will be my main instrument moving forward, so I will be playing it out a lot. It will not be spending much time in the case !

I also love the sound of that stratocaster too.

Jazzy,        
          Thanks for posting the vid , I remember seeing the TV show back in the 70's. AWESOME ____

Great vid. Can't believe it was 41 years ago!  And very enjoyable to see Papa John Creach again.

Quite a bit of speakers up there  
Thanks for posting it Jazzy!

This might have been discussed before but how along in Hot Tuna did Jack play O'L #1?  This video being 1973, did it make to 1975 Yellow Fever?
Pete

That was excellent! Great find. Thanks for posting, Jazzy.

Pete , How have you been ?  
   To Answer your  question regarding the 1975  Hot Tuna Yellow Fever sessions AT Wally Heider Studios ___   I think yes! ___ 72-001 was played BUT  after that perhaps not . _BY  1976 perhaps the Flying V with the Guild BI Sonics was played more for a while  by Jack ( speculation ) .. In 1975 I was  for a fact !  an Audio Engineering student at  Wally Heider Studios , But was NOT completely cognizant of all the AWESOME stuff going on there at the time ___ ___ ___ ETC ... LOL

Hi Wolf,
  1975 cool! It?s great to have historical perspective. Not to hijack but I was around Tony Levin?s Yellow Musicman right after a King Crimson show when I worked at The Hit Factory in the 80?s. Fond memories.
 
   So 1975 O?L #1 was still around and in that year ?Americas Choice? came out. One of my favorite all time Rock songs is ?Funky #7? I would love to hear that was the Bass used!
