what's the electronic layout on that funky lefty jazz bass?

I was wondering the same thing (Re: the lefty Jazz) - Jerry said that it's stereo, with the Alembic pickup in one channel (and receiving power from the blue box) and the Jazz pickups passive through the other channel of the blue box.

Nice photos wolf. Good to see Harry's doubleneck getting pride of place. Hard to believe I played that a couple of years ago.  
Love the purpleheart Rogue; same headstock as mine too :-)
Is that a sitar in the background?  Anybody brave enough to try it out?

Thanks Graeme , I  still look forward to meeting you !  
 
I would also like to thank Mr. Barnes Ray (serialnumber12) for letting us see his awesome bass in person !

Graeme, we look forward to when you can make a return trip!
 
Actually, I was thinking that there is one thing I don't like about the Gatherings - they end too soon! This past week I felt depressed, because I kept wishing I was back at the Gathering. I'm only half-kidding!

Hello friends !  
 
You are now provided with  some LIVE audio on  SoundClound from the 2014 Alembic Gathering !

Big THANKS!!!!  I didn't know it was recorded.  
 
Bill, tgo

WOW Wolf!! That sounds incredible!! Y'all sound like a polished touring band, not an impromptu jam! The rumors are true, your bass sounds amazing & your playing is impeccable! Everyone in the band played great! You guys should keep this band going & play gigs!

Bill , It was easy to bribe a few Ravens to place those microphones in the trees !  ___ __LOL !  
 
  Rusty ,  thank you so very much ! Your heartfull input is always a joy to read !

Very cool Wolf!
 
Thanks for sharing!

Everyone playing in the recording are people I've been lucky to have played in bands with previously.  All excellent players with excellent ears.  It's amazing how different a three guitar line-up can sound in a Grateful Dead context vs. the typical three guitar hard rock line-up!  
 
Wolf & I play together often with a rotating cast of players.  It's always a blast - I too love the sound of Wolf's Distillate and what he does with it.
 
Bill, tgo

Wolf,
  I and don't think it was the Ravens! That really sounded awesome Guys! Rusty is right that is as good or even better than be asked for in an impromptu band! Kudos Kudos!!
 Bill, even so great job!  
Now I've to see if I can get my Distillate to sound like that!  
Pete
