Nice picture Edwin!

That was a fun day. Our set at High Sierra in 2007. It was about 115 degrees out. We did a 3pm set the next day that felt even hotter. Great festival, though!

Happy 70th Birthday Phil Lesh!!

Happy Birthday  Phil Lesh . Thanks for the inspiration !

The Birthday show was a lot of fun! One of the standouts for me was Chris Robinson (Black Crowes) sang Pigpens Two Souls in Communion. The show went from 8pm to 2am. I'm still tired!

A guy on Basschat UK has added some pics of this gear and a few of the Deads' stage rig some pics are duplicated but I figured you guys would find the thread interesting so here's a link.

I would love to see a diagram on the Godfathers knobs, which does what? Is that posted anywhere?

Here is the promised quick pic of my remaining Guild Starfire taken in my cramped messy control room.

Here is another shot ! __________ Fine Alembic  Custom Brass Work!

Very nice! I've never seen a tailpiece like that before!
 
Do you know the year of the bass?
 
I like the Studer, too!

I was given a choice of various tailpiece designs when I took this Bass to Alembic at the old 60 Brady St. location for bridge & tailpiece replacement back around 1974 or so. This is the one that I picked. Look at the one on Alembic #72-01 , similar  with out fine tuners ?  
                 I think this Bass was originally a single pickup model from 1965.
I have had it since 1973. It originally had 2 Guild/ Hagstrom pick ups on it when I bought it .
The experimental HI-A pickups were added after the  Alembic modifications.

Very nice - but I think we may need a better shot of the picture behind the rack......

I always thought that Lesh's bass line from David Crosby's solo album was hauntingly beautiful. This had to be The Godfather back then, 1971 release date.  Of course, Jerry Garcia's pedal steel isn't too shabby either.
